The Lyrics

Hello Faddah, hello Mama
Here I am at Camp Obama
Wasn't sure I'd got the right house
It's the building that they used to call the White House

I went lookin'... for Joe Biden
Couldn't work out... where he's hidin'
But I found a... helpful staffer
Found that Joe's behind the door that's been marked "Gaffer"

Found a nice dis.. play of tushies
It seemed likely... they were Bush's
'Till the tour guide... started hintin'
That they're actually leftover from Bill Clinton

Now there's right-wing.. pundits hurlin'
At repeats of.. speech in Berlin
But here's something that's so barmy
Though they say it's "Barack's", it don't sleep an army

Lots to do, hey Pres. Obama
Going to - shut down Guantan'ma
That would surely give the world a taste
US is now a nicer place
Time for change - the furniture's been rearranged
The Oval Office looks quite strange
'Cause with Obama there
I guess it never could be square

Darling muddah, dearest faddah,
Soon the working will get harder
'Conomy needs cash injection
If Obama wants a chance come next election

Wait a minute, no one's grieving
At the sight of.. George Bush leaving
And replaced with.. that young charmer:
Maybe yes, he's just a little camp, Obama

especially liked the "never could be square line"

Good one - hope cash injection works; first cut looks like a lot of slush.
John Jenkins - January 31, 2009 - Report this comment
Very good job with equal opportunity spoofing and bad punning.

Joe Biden is the gaffer, you say? Nice ;-) 5's.

I echo Timmy1000 and John, and unlike a lot of other Obama-themed parodies on this site, this one is actually funny, well-paced and recordable. 5s.

This is great! The song is actually called "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh", though.
