The Lyrics
GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman played "Hit the Road Jack" at an event yesterday (referring to Obama) and I wanna give both my support and my version!!!
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
2012 you’ll pay!
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
Whoa Republican, oh Republican, don't treat me so mean,
You're the meanest GOP that I've ever seen
I guess in 2012 we’ll all know
I'll have to leave the White House and go (Back to the Right)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
2012 you’ll pay!
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
Now voters, listen voters, I know I promised y’all change
But circumstances didn’t let me work it that way (blame GWB)
(Don't care what you do 'cause I’m misunderstood)
(you ain't got no money/job/house/car, so now I’m no good?)
I guess in 2012 we’ll all know
I'll have to leave the White House and go (Back to the Right)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
2012 you’ll pay!
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
Hell
(don't you come back for four)
2012 you’ll pay!
(don't you come back for four)
Aint nothing’ I can do?
(don't you come back for four)
You can't mean that
(don't you come back for four)
Oh, now voters, please
(don't you come back for four)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(don't you come back for four)
Don’t you know I’m Black???
(don't you come back for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)
2012 you’ll pay!
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four, for four, for four, for four)
(Hit the road Barack and don't you come back for four)

Don't know much about this, but the parody is great, cause I do know the OS! 555! :-)
WCJ, it's just petty politics again. The song is mocking President Barack Hussein Obama II and the four more= a second term of 4 years in the 2012 election. It is Anti-Democrat. I am a REPublican, so I usually hammer the opposition... although as Michael P should have noticed, I also have mocked my own Party! I still can't think of a parody to mock Michele Bachmann and her migraines or husband, but if I can I will. I have songs for and against all politicians and lean both ways with patriotic US military songs against the insurgents and Al Qaida, but also have a lot of conflicting Third Reich material b/c of my German heritage and our family division. the Arndt entire military history was US Army until my dad broke it by becoming a US Marine. I have 3 nephews that are all US Army and have a few cousins in both the US Army and US Navy. On the German side I have former Waffen SS and Luftwaffe- am not sure who is in the modern Bundeswehr anymore...??? Trivia: first German soldier killed since WW2 overseas was Alexander Arndt in Cambodia in the late 1990s!!!
