Conway

     Remember “Convoy”, the 1975 novelty song by C. W. McCall telling the story of a CB radio-organized truck convoy that outran the police? No? Well, never mind because now there’s a 2017 version of the song detailing a similar tale of deception and escape. It goes a little something like this:
[VERSE 1]
     Was the start of spring in search of the ring
          In a campaign supporting Cruz.
     She was pulling out all of the stops
         Looked like he just couldn’t lose.
     They were heading for D. C. on I-95
          Just a few hundred shy of a pick
     When a guy named Trump went over the hump
          ‘Bout to pull off an amazing trick.
[CHORUS]
     ‘Cause we got a gal named Conway
          Workin’ for the right.
     Yeah she’s our President’s Conway
          Ain’t she a beautiful sight?
     Come on and join Ms. Conway
          Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in her way.
     She’s gonna guide his movement
          ‘Cross the U. S. A.
     Conway!
[VERSE 2]
     By the time they got to Cleveland town 
          Trump had delegates by the score.
     So Kellyanne says “Goodbye Cruz”
          And joins The Donald’s hardcore.
     Them media types they’re as thick as pols on pork
          They were even dissing Trump’s facial sheen.
     So they called on the one and only Kellyanne
          The number one pivoting queen.
[CHORUS]
     ‘Cause we got a gal named Conway
          Workin’ for the right.
     Yeah she’s our President’s Conway
          Ain’t she a beautiful sight?
     Come on and join Ms. Conway
          Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in her way.
     She’s gonna help The Donald
          ‘Cross the U. S. A.
     Conway!
[VERSE 3]
     As the race wore on and Hillary gained
          The Democrats looked sure to win.
     But Kellyanne said “Don’t worry ‘bout facts”
          Trump’s victory is just about sure as sin.
     Well that Tuesday night with the polls outta sight
          The unthinkable began to take place.
     As Ms. Conway continued to deflect the truth
         The Donald won the presidential race.
[CHORUS]
     ‘Cause we got a gal named Conway
          Workin’ for the right.
     Yeah she’s our President’s Conway
          Ain’t she a beautiful sight?
     Come on and join Ms. Conway
          Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in her way.
     She’ll do whatever’s needed
          ‘Cross the U. S. A.
     Conway!
[VERSE 4]
     Well, the race is run and the day is done
          And The Donald sits in Watergate City.
     And that Conway gal still pivots and spins
         Claiming alternative facts look pretty.
     She and her pal the Spicey Man
          Keep working for the number one louse.
     And so long as she’s able to dissemble
          He’ll stay in that big White House.
[CHORUS]
     ‘Cause she’s the mighty Conway
          Workin’ for the right.
     Yeah she’s our President’s Conway
          Ain’t she a beautiful sight?
     Come on and join Ms. Conway
          Ain’t nothin’ gonna get in her way.
     She’s gonna ride his movement
          ‘Cross the U. S. A.
     Conway!
