Speakeasy Sirens

Verse 1 (spoken-sung, with piano vamp and muted trumpet)
`
Ladies and gents, step into the hall,  
Champagne flows, but the deals are small.  
Rubio’s grin, a paper-thin mask,  
Trading his favors in a vaudeville act.  
`

Chorus (big brass hits, swing rhythm)
`
Step right up, the party’s grand,  
Rubio’s dealing with a shaky hand,  (Horn stabs after “shaky hand” and “keeping score”)
Trump’s at the bar, Vance on the floor,  
Brass horns blare — who’s keeping score?  
`

Verse 2 (clarinet solo weaving between lines)
`
Whispers in corners, the band plays hot,  
Promises sold for a whiskey shot.  
The Charleston spins, alliances bend,  
Every refrain hides another pretend.  
`

Chorus (repeat, louder, with trombone slides)
`
Step right up, the party’s grand,  
Rubio’s dealing with a shaky hand,  (Horn stabs after “shaky hand” and “keeping score”)
Trump’s at the bar, Vance on the floor,  
Brass horns blare — who’s keeping score?
