PHIL DONAHUE
Phil Donahue your son’s a racist
And I bet you didn’t even know it
You're a liberal everybody loves
But you spawned an asshole
Stevie Wonder has estranged kids
And Joni Mitchell has a daughter
Who’s been in jail and hooked on heroin
And tried to steal her money
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad, that’s so sad
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad
Martin Sheen is an activist
Who played POTUS on Sorkin's West Wing
Then there's Charlie, his abusive son
To sully his good name
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad, that’s so sad
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad
Phil Donahue your son’s a racist
And I bet you didn’t even know it
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad, that’s so sad
When you don’t live up to your mom and dad that’s so sad
