Lyrics
Don't Tell Me No
by Daniel Work (ASCAP), c2012/SmileyNote Studios, inc.
I dress in black surrounded by eight men
They protect me from Armageddon
I never drive, never wait in line
cuz Marine One flies me right on time. Don't, don't tell me no
When I deplane strike up the band
When I feel blue I just summon BB King
All my desires so deep inside
My secret service they keep me satisfied
Don't, don't tell me no, they'll never tell
(chorus) I can get anything, anyone I want
I get what I want when I want it
A fast Lamborghini or Madonna singing to me
People line up just to thrill me
And If I don't get it I'll do more than throw a fit
cuz I, I am the President
Don't, don't tell me no, don't tell me no
Don't bring me beer, I want scotch aged eighty years
Don't keep me waiting, my FBI is feared
I could fish out on the deep blue sea
up on the deck of a big U.S. destroyer. Don't, don't tell me no
Most people fear the IRS
but I dare 'em to audit my trails
A house divided, lobbyist unnamed
Selfishly voting for their own campaigns
Don't, don't tell me no, I'm not to blame
Chorus
I must be right, I am the great decider
I can't be wrong, I am your President
No need to drink with this much power
Don't need your money, had all I can devour
Don't tell me no
