So Long It's Been Good to Know Ya (Fed Workers)
parody resistance protest defiant sing-along workers
I've sung this song but I'll sing it again
of the place that I worked as a civil servant
In Trump era two, and every damn day
Here's what the federal workers now say
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
Ole Rusty Vought loves his trauma and pain
And I hope to work with you again
A DöGE storm hit and it hit like thunder
They RTO'd, DERP'd, and RIF'd us all under
Killed USAID, eighteen-F and all
And stole the Peace Institute's home on the Mall (sayin')
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
Ole Rusty Vought loves his trauma and pain
And I hope to work with you again
We forecast the weather; you'll soon have to pay
Built Direct File, but Intuit said "Nay"
Promoted vaccines; now measles reigns
Bobby Junior is taking us backward again
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
Ole Rusty Vought loves his trauma and pain
And I hope to work with you again
I won't break the law, I won't bend the knee
The CONstitution has my loyalty
To break with my conscience I'd rather be dead
I'll tender my REsignation instead, singing...
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
So long, it's been good to know ya
Ole Rusty Vought is a miserable stain
And I hope to work with you again
(repeat)
Variations:
- For TTSer's "worked in tech transformation" instead of "as a civil servant"
- Instead of Russ Vought, "That tangerine clown is a-gettin' me down; And I have to be driftin' along"
