BEIJING, March 21
We don't want your old newspapers
pizza boxes plastic spoons
You can't us what to do
you gross Trumped-up poltroon
We'll build our own world trading
scheme and colonize the moon
while you wallow in your garbage
you big fat fake tycoon
This is gonna to be our era
it's a fact that China's back
and we will not be faked out
by a loud mouth Trump attack
You now owe us all your money
so we're gonna be just fine
We'll let you pay us slowly
but you better pay on time.
