Michelle Branch singing 'Goodbye, Ted Cruz' on 'Full Frontal' is everything
Watch Next

While everyone else on TV is dedicated to covering overexposed Donald Trump's every move, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee has been vigilant about following the doomed campaign of "loser and Satanic body pillow" Ted Cruz.

With Cruz now out of the running for the Republican Party's Presidential nomination, Bee enlisted Michelle Branch to send the Senator off with a musical tribute.

The four-minute song -- a play on Branch's 2001 hit "Goodbye To You" -- contains references to chunky soup, Carly Fiorina and the possibility of Cruz being the Zodiac killer. There's also a welcome throwback to Cruz's college performance of The Crucible, which Bee unearthed in March.

The full lyrics are in the YouTube video description, but let's learn them from repeated listening -- then sing along and spread the good word.

Goodbye Ted Cruz
Won't miss your lizard face on the news
You were the one we loathed
The campaign no one tried to hold on to.
