Sixteen Bums

There are actually 15 members of a President's Cabinet. But if you count the Vice President, that's 16.

To the tune of "Sixteen Tons," written by Merle Travis, with the best-known version by Tennessee Ernie Ford:

Some… people say Hegseth is a stinking drunk.
His poor policy is made out of junk.
A brain that's soaked, a head full of bone.
A memo leaked, and ideas that are wrong.
 
You see sixteen bums, and what do you get?
The entire makeup of Trump's Cabinet.
St. Peter, don't you call 'em, they're so full of sin.
They owe their souls to Vladimir Putin.
 
Bob… was born on a morning when his dad was at work.
He became the Kennedy who made himself a jerk.
He loaded up his veins with stuff to make anyone squirm
and blames his crazy ideas on a brain full of worm.
 
You see sixteen bums, and what do you get?
The entire makeup of Trump's Cabinet.
St. Peter, don't you call 'em, they're so full of sin.
They owe their souls to Vladimir Putin.
 
Pam… was born in a morning Florida hurricane.
Bribes and Corruption are her middle name.
She was raised in the swamp by a guy who was lyin'
and now a Queens crime lord makes her walk his line.
 
You see sixteen bums, and what do you get?
The entire makeup of Trump's Cabinet.
St. Peter, don't you call 'em, they're so full of sin.
They owe their souls to Vladimir Putin.
 
If… you see them comin', better step aside.
Because of their stupidity, a lot o' men died.
One word of truth, and a hundred of jive.
If the right wing don’t get you, we might just survive.
 
You see sixteen bums, and what do you get?
The entire makeup of Trump's Cabinet.
St. Peter, don't you call 'em, they're so full of sin
 
They owe their sou-ou-ou-ou-ouls..
to Vladimir Putin.
