“Perfect” Bernie Sanders

To the tune of Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect”

I found the man for me.

My friends are all diving in and following my lead.

Well, I found a Red, beautiful in speech,

Oh, I never knew he was

The someone waiting for me.

We’ve always been idealists in search of a cause.

What a feeling this is!

We won’t let them steal it this time.

Oh Bernie, I love your words so!

They make my juices flow.

The workers of the world can all unite.

Baby, I’m falling really hard.

Your age I can disregard.

You quiet all my fears.

Your words are music to my ears.

When you said that billionaires must go,

I whispered low, “Bernie, yes I know.”

My friends felt the same.

Bernie, you sound perfect tonight.

Well, I found a speaker,

Talking up everything I want.

He gives me hope, hope

For a life that will be free from want.

I found a man to give me more

Than what I’ve worked for,

To cancel debt, to care for my health

From now on.

I might think like a kid but

I’m so in love,

Fighting against all odds.

Bernie, I know you can win this time.

Bernie, I’ll give you a hand.

I see now that you’re the man.

I see my future in your eyes.

Baby, I’m falling really hard.

Your health I can disregard.

You quiet all my fears.

Your words are music to my ears.

If Castro was really your guy,

You’re the apple of my eye.

My friends felt the same.

Bernie, you sound perfect tonight.

Baby, I’m falling really hard.

Your age I can disregard.

You quiet all my fears.

Your words are music to my ears.

When you wed, off to Russia you went.

It’s like you were heaven sent.

My cell feels the same.

Oh Bernie, you’re perfect in my eyes.
