Claim that Friggin’ Honour

The US Navy is building an aircraft carrier
It was set to honour a black sailor
We’re gonna call it the USS Doris Miller
For heroic actions at Pearl Harbour

It’s unclear why they’re changing the name
Some people out there are concerned with fame
They thought maybe Trump should claim
He should have the honour

You gotta name it, claim it, shame it, and defame it
You gotta take it, fake it, break it, and snake it
You gotta hype it, gripe it, swipe it, and snipe it
Claim that friggin’ honour

They put his name on the Kennedy Center
Renamed it for the 1 percenter
Some fought back against the tormentor
They shut it down for two years

Don’t forget to get your Trump account
Tax avoidance he knows about
Or your Trump prescriptions for your gout
Make sure his cheque clears

You gotta name it, claim it, shame it, and defame it
You gotta take it, fake it, break it, and snake it
You gotta hype it, gripe it, swipe it, and snipe it
Claim that friggin’ honour

On paper money they’re gonna put his signature
Gonna be everywhere, even on the furniture
He should be known as the great exhibitioner
He’s got a thing for towers and casinos

So if you work for the Commander-in-Chief
There is no time left to be discreet
Get to work naming everything on the street
You gotta feed that fat ego

You gotta name it, claim it, shame it, and defame it
You gotta take it, fake it, break it, and snake it
You gotta hype it, gripe it, swipe it, and snipe it
Claim that friggin’ honour
