Giuliani went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for votes to steal
He was in a bind ‘cause Trump was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal
When he came across the DA writing subpoenas and slinging ‘em hot
And Giuliani pled attorney-client with Trump
And said, “girl, let me tell you what”
“I guess you didn’t know I’m a lawyer too
At least until I was disbarred
Now you got a pretty good grand jury, girl
But why you gotta’ make it so hard
Makin’ me travel to Atlanta
By bus, or train, or car?”
The DA said, “My name is Fani and I’m gonna’ win
And you can bet you’re gonna’ regret
‘Cause I’m the best there’s ever been”
Giuliani wiped off his hair dye and said, “I’ll start this grift”
And nothing else passed his lips except, “I take the fifth”
All the hacks at Fox News made an evil hiss
While Lindsey Graham filed appeals for judges to dismiss
Fani said, “You’re pretty slick, old son
But sit right there in the witness chair
And I’ll show you how it’s done”
Classified documents out in the sun
While Trump considers a twenty-four run
New York, Georgia, and Feds closing in
Holding our breath for justice to win
Giuliani hung his head ‘cause he knew he’d been beat
As he climbed down off the witness seat
And Fani cracked a smile
“Come on back to Georgia
I’ll see you at your trial”
