Free Fallin’ Lightfoot

To the tune of “Free Fallin’”

She’s a bad girl, froze out white folks,

Loves just one, and that’s her “wife.”

She’s a bad girl, starved the po-lice,

Saw all sorts of crime go sky high.

Now it’s a long day, livin’ in Chicago,

There’s an L train that’s dangerous to ride.

She had swept in, now no one will miss her,

She had swept in, now she needs to hide.

And she’s free, free fallin’

Yeah, she’s free, free fallin’

Such a sad tale, they gave us Obama,

Where Jussie was presented a noose

At the hands of those MAGA monsters,

Now Lori must confront her cooked goose.

And she’s free, free fallin’

Yeah, she’s free, free fallin’

Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s-a

Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s-a

They were celebratin’, first black female mayor,

They were writin’ her name in the sky.

Now she’s fallin’ out into nothin’

Must leave that toddlin’ town for a while.

Now she’s free, free fallin’

(Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a

Free fallin’, she’s a free fallin’, she’s-a)

Yeah, she’s free, free fallin’

(Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a

Free fallin’, she’s a free fallin’, she’s-a)

(Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a)

Yeah, she’s free, free fallin’

Oh!

(Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a)

Free fallin’

(Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a)

And she’s free, oh, free fallin’

(Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a

Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a

Free fallin’, she’s-a free fallin’, she’s a)
