I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane (Donald Trump song parody) - Patrick Fitzgerald



Donald Trump continues blathering on about electric vehicles at his rallies, and his ignorance just seems to grow. This time he says if you built an electric-powered plane, it would fall out of the air when the sun went down. I guess that's because the batteries are so heavy that they sink boats, so surely they would pull a plane out of the air. This is just the MIT-level thinking that we have come to expect.


=== Lyrics ===

Not everyone’s as smart as me
‘Cause my uncle taught at MIT
And I have a lot of science expertise

Now I told you once about some sharks
And a sinking boat with voltaic arcs
I am respected for my risk analyses

So listen and vote for me
I’ll tell you more about batteries
It’s getting late and I’m afraid I have to dash

‘Cause I’m leavin’ on an electric jet plane
Have to land ‘fore the sun goes down again
At night we’d surely crash

You see electric vehicles they stink
Boats with heavy batteries will sink
They’re so heavy you can’t use them in a plane

I think electric planes run on solar cells
But that pisses off the oil cartels
I’m saying this so they’ll donate to my campaign

So listen and vote for me
I’ll tell you more about batteries
It’s getting late and I’m afraid I have to dash

‘Cause I’m leavin’ on an electric jet plane
Have to land ‘fore the sun goes down again
At night we’d surely crash

Now I’ve to to go before twilight
Or there won’t be
power for my flight
There’s the exit
Leave a credit card on your way out

Dream about some days remote
You won’t have to think or have to vote
When I am dictator, I’ll no longer have to say

Oh, Listen and vote for me
I’ll blather on about batteries
It’s getting late and I’m afraid I have to dash

‘Cause I’m leavin’ on an electric jet plane
Have to land ‘fore the sun goes down again
At night we’d surely crash

I’m leavin’ on an electric jet plane
If you haven’t noticed: I’m quite insane
But please… send me your cash
