In 1941, Irving Berlin wrote this song as a protest piece against Hitler

It was a song to give people hope that someday the monster will be dead and gone...

We need a revival of this song for the orange cretin occupying the people's house.

To make the song timely we can just change the lyrics in the last four measures on p. 4 as follows:

Some fine day the news will blare
Satan with peculiar hair

and the words will be easy to update, like

One fine day the news will break

That the big fat orange fake

His bargain went so wrong

Now that he's dead and gone.

and I'm sure other people can do much better than that.
