Caledonia, USA: The 54th state

Scotland! the White House is beckoning in song…it’s statehood, but not as expected…

If you like, you can sing along with this. The tune may be slightly familiar. the guitar is an old and buzzy Takamine EN-30C which I was trying to sell on eBay, but the winning bidder was a chancer who immediately cancelled the sale. Just as well, as I’ve decided to keep it…

Fly me from Newark out to Greenland

See a polar bear, that would be such fun

I would’ve gone to Newfoundland

But Jared shot all the Canadian ones

But now that they’re the 51st and 52nd states

It’s dollars everywhere, no exchange rate…

I need to get me some summer sun

Relax by the Mediterranean Sea

Those Europeans are no fun

I can’t understand a word they say to me

That new Trump International just seems to have it all

I like the look of Gaza in the spring or fall

I believe he’s looking for a 54th state

Canada and Greenland and Gaza are great

But Scotland is his motherland, a golfing destination

It’s ripe for a little bit of annexation

Oh, Caledonia! We can make it pay

54th state of the USA

Take me to Trump Tong in the Hebrides

McDonalds, or Kentucky Fried in Stornoway

Get Edinburgh run by Walt Disney, please

I love to see those wee tartan dresses sway

We’ll get to the islands through tunnels not on ferries

The British Open will always be played in Turnberry

I believe he’s looking for a 54th state

Canada and Greenland and Gaza are great

But Scotland is his motherland, a golfing destination

It’s ripe for a little bit of annexation

Oh Caledonia! We can it make it pay

54th state of the USA
