So long, Claudine Gay

I can’t believe your song is gone so soon

We barely learned the tune

So soon

So soon

I remember, Claudine Gay

Chosen to lead Harvard into a brand-new day

Female, Black, though not actually gay

So gay

So gay

College presidents may come and college presidents may go and never change your point of view

“It all depends on the context” were the words that spelled your doom

So long, Claudine Gay

You were naive to give Elise Stafanik the last hurray

And then the New York Post had its day

That you play (gorize)

That you play

Yes it was a witch hunt, but they found the pay dirt, then there wasn’t much you could do

But to re-sign when they made example out of you

So long, Claudine Gay

The scrutiny you faced was more than they’d ever lay…on a white man

I’m sorry for you but it makes me appreciate all the more

Obama, eight years

All the more…

So clean, eight years

All the more…

No scandals, eight years

All the more…

No drama, eight years

All the more…

Obama, eight years

All the more…

So clean

Obama!
