You're So Vain

When Donald Trump reappeared on the campaign trail this week to support Mitt Romney, I couldn't resist Carly Simon's great song "You're So Vain."

You walked into my fundraiser
Like you were a launching a TV show
Your hair strategically coiffed upon your head
Like a lawn in need of a good mow
You had one eye in the mirror
As you flashed your gleaming smile
And all the girls wished that they had your money
They had your money, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you?  Don’t you?

You told me several months ago
That you’d make me the president
Now my aides are worried that your birther views
Could shrink the size of my elect’ral tent
For you question where Barack was born
In Hawaii, I’ve told you so
But you refuse to accept what the truth is
Accept what the truth is, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you?  Don’t you?

Well, I hear that you call yourself “The Donald,”
This seems excessive I have to say
But your wealth from all that real estate
Is what I need for my Election Day
You’re not my type I know it’s so
But I have a big campaign
And all I need is the cash that you dole out
Cash that you dole out, and

You’re so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You’re so vain
I’ll bet you think this song is about
Don’t you?  Don’t you?
