#1 "There's a spot in La France
That's Emmanuel's own...
An ecole, an old soul
Known before he was grown.

There's a cute little place
Off the Champs Elysees,
Where -- if we can take it --
My boy-toy will play...

Sure, he loves the dear silver
That shines in the banks,
And the mines that we've burrowed
Right under the Franks.
As the antifa singers
Shriek, 'No pasaran...'
No... quelqu'un but Le Pen, Dieu!"

- Mother Macron
