Patchmaker, Patchmaker
…a song about hoping for divine intervention from some sort of yenta before inauguration day…sung to the tune of “Matchmaker” from “Fiddler on the Roof”
Patchmaker, Patchmaker
give us a catch
find us a pres
who won’t make us retch.
Patchmaker, Patchmaker
we’re on the hook
and we need a perfect match.
Patchmaker, Patchmaker
bring a surprise
give us some guts
re-open our eyes.
Bring us a leader with good pedigree —
a chief of integrity.
For Sheinbaum
make her Latino.
For Trudeau
make him less of a king.
For us, well,
we would sure love it
if they wore a unicorn pinkie ring.
Patchmaker, Patchmaker
make an amend
find us a pres
who Putin can’t bend.
Night after night we pray he’ll disappear
so find us a match
we don’t fear.
