Marsh Family Parody song on RFK "We'll see measles and polio down in the schoolyard"

Link to video and lyrics:

?si=Z8nIJoCxvLupFIw1

Parody of Paul Simon’s "Me and Julio"

I usually hate YouTube links, etc. But I really enjoyed this one!

Here's the lyrics for those who only want to read.

LYRICS:

There’s more melodrama rolling ahead
As a man without qualification
Shared a couple of doubts, put some bunkum out
Now he’s undermining vaccination!

RFK is sure
He used to work in law
With a hem and haw
He’s gonna end the cure

The medics looked round, saw the shit going down
And resigned or faced termination
The panel destroyed by conspiracy boy
Now they’re restricting who gets immunisation!

Hell, it’s RFK
He don’t know what he’s doing!
It’s RFK
He’s faking the science, so you’d best beware
Cos heaven knows: it’s not only Corona
We’ll see measles and polio down in the schoolyard
We’ll see measles and polio down in the schoolyard

WHOA!
Lots of roadkill affairs – like the thing with the bear
Had a heroin drug conviction
Got a worm in his brain
Hope the poor thing escaped
Cos it’s not a place you’d want to be trapped in

There’s a couple of ways, that when you hear what he says,
That you’d guess he’s more ‘quack’ than ‘geek’
First of the Health Secretaries who’s abetting disease
MMR’s now the lowest it has been

And you know who’ll pay?
The folk whose shots are going
As state by state
They’re claiming their ‘right’ to infection-share
Cos heaven knows: it’s not only Corona

We’ll see measles and polio down in the schoolyard
We’ll see flu and rubella down in the schoolyard
We’ll see varicella, down in the schoolyard
We’ll see hepatitis, down in the schoolyard
We’ll see parotitis, down in the schoolyard
We’ll see coronavirus, down in the schoolyard

I think I was the first person to post any of their songs on DU (in GD IIRC - yep, https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219198259 ), but I'm not entirely certain of that. Had run across them on Twitter.
