Description:
Karoline Leavitt is leaving her role as White House Press Secretary and spokesperson for Donald Trump at the end of this week. So we didn’t want to let the moment pass without marking it. We used for our parody the emotional and uplifting ABBA ballad farewell song “Thank You For The Music” – originally released in 1978 and penned by the inimitable Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.

LYRICS
She was no petal – she’d act like a little wild boar
When Karoline spoke, she scolded the White House press corps
Well she had a talent for blundering in
She made it her mission to gaslight and spin
Always hateful and loud
Now she’s gone – still aggrieved and unbowed
So we say thank you for the bullshit, the constant flinging
Thanks for false alarm bell ringing
We can live without it: the farce and dishonesty
Angry Barbie
Leavitt has gone as the Press Secretary
So we say thank you for the bullshit – enjoy maternity!
Motherhood might be the answer to Karoline’s plight
Mmm, she craves all the tantrums and diapers and screams in the night
She likes blood-and-thunder, she’s got a head start
In turning the infantile into an art
Now she’s passing the can
Tapping out, just as more hits the fan
So we say thank you for the bullshit, our heads are swimming
Thanks for all the fake news bringing
Who could ever doubt it? Your grasp of trade policy?
The economy?
Where all the condoms shipped overseas?!
So we say thank you for the bullshit – the gift of fantasy
Bye “Bride of Chucky”
You were the churl with golden hair
Making the briefing room a MAGA lobby
Every ploy! Every lie! Every rant!
Thank you for the bullshit, the mad handwringing
Thanks for all the press hamstringing
Who is gonna spout it? Now Leavitt’s setting us free
Who will it be?
Maybe the Mouth of Sauron is free?
Or we can all just sniff a glue stick, and leave reality
Till one day there’s another new chick for Trump idolatry
