PHJim Lyr Req: The Snake (Oscar Brown, Jr.) (15) RE: Lyr Req: The Snake (Oscar Brown, Jr.) 07 Feb 24


This is a song that Donald Trump kept reciting, badly, the lyrics as a poem. The holders of the rights to the song, Oscar's daughters, received no royaties any of the times he performed it and Trump gave someone else credit (maybe Al Wilson) for composing the song.
Oscar's family have asked him to stop using it, saying that Donald Trump was the type of person the song was warning about.
Oscar's song was inspired by Aesop's fable about "The Farmer & The Snake".
