GET ME TO THE JAIL ON TIME - A Parody Don Caron & John Emory - Parody Project



You might have guessed. It's a parody of Get Me to the Church on Time from My Fair Lady (by Lerner and Loewe). Lyrics were sent to me by John Emory of The Freedom Toast. Yes, we realize this all happened last August but you need a reminder about how weird things have gotten. Executive Producers Don Caron and Jerry Pender.

Lyrics to Get Me to the Jail as sung by Donald Trump with a backup trio.
John Emory


TRUMP: I had to go to Fulton County
The DA accused me of a crime
Did it upset me?
They’re all out to get me!
To get me to the jail on time

I was arrested in the evening
I’d not committed any crime
Yes, it’s surprising
My polls keep on rising
So get me to the jail on time

If I am golfing then you shout “Fore!”
If I’m campaigning sneak me out the door

Oh, I was arrested in the evening
The DA is treating me like slime
But isn’t it funny
I raised so much money
By getting to the jail
Just getting to the jail
By getting to that Fulton County jail on time

CHOIR: Why can’t he finally start winning?
Most people think he is sublime
TRUMP: I was in a tight spot
So I posed for a mug shot
It happened at the jail that time

CHOIR: His plan was to get there in the evening
Looking like he just ate a lime
Got a new lawyer
Found him in the foyer
He’ll get him to the jail on time!

If he is posting
Then grab his phone.
It’s time for him to reap what he has sown.

For he was arrested in the evening
The DA accused him of a crime
TRUMP: When they try to smear
meit’ll only endear me
to every guy and gal
on my campaign trail
CHOIR: And that’s who’ll be payin’ for his bail every time
