With apologies to Bob Dylan--

How many times must I redraw this map
Before I get 'Bama in the zone?
And, how can I make those reporters believe
The 'Bama coast was always in the cone?

The answer is in: the Sharpie is my friend.
My Sharpie can make the cone extend!

And, how many people were really on the Mall
To watch me as I raised my tiny hand?
They had aerial pix and such, but those can be retouched
Sharpie makes things turn out just the way I planned.

The Sharpie's my friend; on Sharpie I depend.
My Sharpie can make the truth bend!

Well he got himself a Sharpie and he altered the whole course of a storm now
(He altered the storm, now, he altered the storm)
And so changing maps of hurricanes has turned into the national norm now
(He altered the storm now, he altered the storm)
He sent Dorian away, and he’s waiting for the next one to form, now!
(He banished the storm, now, he banished the storm!)
And he’ll have fun, fun, fun til Melania takes his Sharpie away
(Fun, fun, fun til Melania takes the Sharpie away!)

We hope to have the whole song recorded and mixed in the next 3 weeks!

First have to get Washington, D.C. (Memphis, Tennessee) and Moscow Mitch (Panama Red) wrapped!
