Donald Trump Sings the Jennifer Holliday Classic, “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.”


(Additional lyrics: Telephone conversation transcript, Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.)

RECITATIVE

Where’s my state? Raffensperger where’s my state?
Love me: Georgia was supposed to love me.


[Chorus: You’ve been nuts you’ve been mean And gettin’ fatter all the time We put up with you for much too long We have put up with selfish

And all your screaming too You’re always thinking of you All you can do is rant and rave Now we’re telling you it’s all over]

And I am telling you I’m not going

I’m staying I’m staying AND YOU’RE GONNA FIND MY VOTES

ARIA

The people of Georgia are angry The people in the country are angry. 

And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um That you’ve recalculated.

So look. All I want to do is this.

I just want to find 11,780 votes

One more than we have!

Because we won the state.

There’s no way I lost Georgia.

There’s no way.

We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.

And I am telling you I ain’t leaving!

Look what you’ve done to the president —

Look what you’ve done to the president

People hate what you did to the president.

So tell me, Brad, what are we going to do?

We won the election, and it’s not fair 
And I am telling you
I’m not going
I’m the best man I’ll ever know
There’s no way I can ever go
No, no, there’s no way
No, no, no, no way I’m leaving the White House
I wanna be president
I don’t wanna be free
I’m staying, I’m staying
And you, and you
You’re all gonna love me

And I am telling you I’m not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There’s just no way, there’s no way

I’m staying I’m staying I’m not going
