Lyrics
Verse 1
I am a quite remarkable person, it's true
The doctors all say they've seen nothing like me, they do
My uncle was smart at MIT, you see
And that means I naturally have a great big degree
Patter
La-di-da-di, everybody knows me
La-di-da-da, I'm a VIP
Chorus
I'm the very model of a modern stable genius
(He's the very model of a modern stable genius)
My brain is working perfectly, just ask my pet subpoenas
(His brain is working perfectly, just ask his pet subpoenas)
I know the best of words and I can make the biggest deals
And everybody says that everything I touch, it heals!
Verse 2
I know the art of business and I quote my ratings daily
I tweet about the fake news media so gaily
I build the tallest buildings, though sometimes they go belly-up
But that's because the banks don't understand what's really up
My hands are very normal and my hair is truly mine
And everything I say turns out spectacularly fine
Patter
La-di-da-di, watch me on TV
La-di-da-da, greatest you will see
Chorus
I'm the very model of a modern stable genius
(He's the very model of a modern stable genius)
My words are bigly beautiful, they never come between us
(His words are bigly beautiful, they never come between us)
I know the best of people and I make tremendous calls
And when I build my special wall, Mexico pays for it all!
Bridge
Oh, covfefe! Sweet covfefe!
A word that only I understand
My tweets at midnight are so grand
They say I'm not presidential
But I say that's inconsequential
Because...
Verse 3
In matters mathematical, I multiply tremendously
In matters ecological, I clean coal vigorously
In short, in matters big and small, intelligent and genus
I am the very model of a modern stable genius!
Extended Patter
La-di-da-di, watch my ratings soar
La-di-da-da, never seen before
La-di-da-di, winning bigly too
La-di-da-da, only I can do!
Final Chorus
I'm the very model of a modern stable genius
(He's the very model of a modern stable genius)
My brain works better than a hundred thousand Einsteins
(His brain works better than a hundred thousand Einsteins)
I'm the very model of a modern stable genius
(He's the very model of a modern stable genius)
The doctors say they're shocked at how my mind's so keen-ius!
Outro
La-di-da-di, now you all can see
There's nobody more stable or genius than me!
