Well, I was going to wait until tomorrow to share this ‘toon’s tune with you, but Mr. Badger pointed out that Christmas Eve is the time more associated with singing Christmas carols, so, in order to encourage you to add this parody of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen to your repertoire, I share it here, both in the ‘toon (which is abbreviated both by space and by the fact that the 4th verse came to me after I’d already drawn the ‘toon) and in the unabridged text so you can print out the words and share it with your caroling friends!
Huzzah! Strike up the band and sing along…
Oh curse ye vile trumpy men,
You’re causing me dismay,
The world went dark, I lost all hope
On last election day.
What you don’t like you call fake news, the truth has gone astray,
Oh tidings of treason and greed
Treason and greed,
Oh, tidings of treason and greed.
Oh curse ye vile trumpy men,
The western world’s appalled.
While you distract the Congress acts
to impoverish us all.
You sold us out for Putin’s power
and you come when he calls…
Oh tidings of treason and greed,
Treason and greed,
Oh, tidings of treason and greed.
Oh curse ye vile trumpy men,
Your reign is going to fail.
In time your crimes will all come out
No matter how you flail
Bob Mueller’s going to find the truth
and you will go to jail…
Oh tidings of treason and greed,
Treason and greed,
Oh, tidings of treason and greed.
Oh curse ye vile trumpy men
Your heartlessness astounds.
When taking healthcare from the poor
Your joy it knows no bounds,
and white supremacists and nazis are the friends you found…
Oh tidings of treason and greed,
Treason and greed,
Oh, tidings of treason and greed.
You’re welcome.
And now, sing along with the panda kindergarten!
Oh tidings of treason and greed. (To the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)
Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of 101 Bebe Panda-Nations!
Be the bear

You are a genius! This is wonderful! I love the fact it is the younger generation of sweet bears that are after Trump. Thank you for this carol with all your precious creations taking part.
In the spirit of the season, take good care of yourself, have a restful day, eat cuppycakes, and remember that your gift of satire and humor help us all in these trumpy times. God bless us everyone.
The younger generation of pandas are well aware of the fact that dRump and his evil minions are leaving them debt, wars, and environmental degradation for them to clean up. The older pandas are all at home drinking extra large pitchers of bootinis and crying quietly in the corners.
Made my day!

Brilliant! It’s sad that you had to write these words but they sure sum up the current government perfectly. I never had any doubt that Princess Pinky would have been a much better leader. Will be interesting to see how 2018 unfolds.
It’s all I can do not to retreat under the covers and go quietly mad. Hoping that the pandas can keep me alive and commenting on the current events.
This is brilliant! And very sad as well. Ping.
Ping.
The original used to be my favorite, no more. This one transcends the holiday. Thank you. Pinky is right we REALLY should have voted for her.
I just watched the original last week, because I hadn’t seen it for so long. It was good, and way scarier than I remembered. Glad you think my version can stand up to the original.
Got that right
