Every time he babbles, the people wonder what’s the matter
Every time he speaks he sounds as if he’s not all there
Though he keeps on saying he really, really is a genius
He is clearly failing, but so far he is unaware
 
Dementia —eats at his brain
Dementia — It’s clear and plain
Dementia — makes him insane
 
Every time he blunders so badly even he’s embarrassed,
he just has a tantrum and lashes out with rage and blame
Fox and GOP, they all pretend he’s compos mentis
They all prop him up with excuses, but they sound so lame
 
Dementia — eats at his brain
Dementia — It’s clear and plain
Dementia — makes him insane
 
Policy decisions that make no sense and harm our nation
Public proclamations that lead to pandemonium
Fantasies of glory and even global domination
Dreaming he’s a victim, while victimizing everyone
 
Dementia — eats at his brain
Dementia — It’s clear and plain
Dementia — makes him insane
 
Everybody whispers, but no one comes right out and says it
People in his orbit, they fawn and flatter and kowtow
Circling like vultures, they lie and scheme to gain advantage,
waiting for his downfall to swoop in fast and grab the power
 
Dementia — eats at his brain
Dementia — It’s clear and plain
Dementia — makes him insane
