The Lyrics
FULL DISCLOSURE: I do watch the State of the Union. Hear the original song on YouTube.
Workin' hard, day after day
Got a wife, got some buddies
Never wealthy but I'm doin' o.k.
Just a man with a plan to get by
And after work I need to relax
It's time to watch television
I grab a beer and a couple of snacks
But oh no, there's no show, and here's why
It's the State of the Union
Well now isn't this great
Now I won't get to see "The Biggest Loser"
So I quick change the channel 'cause I just can't relate
And I'll watch anything but the State of the Union
Glad I've got cable TV
Lots of shows, lots of channels
Hope something's on that I would like to see
With some T and some A, I can eye
But the State of the Union
Playing on channel 8
Means I won't get to stare at "Killer Women"
And I know that I'd rather watch a show about bait
Way before I'll start watching the State of the Union
Searching through all of the shows
Gimme great big explosions
Wanna see two boxers go toe to toe
Not some guy with a tie speechify
It's the State of the Union
And I'm telling you straight
You'll have more chuckles watching "Honey Boo Boo"
And as long as there's Michelob the country is great
And I don't need a speech on the state of the union
The State of the Union
Got a wife, got some buddies
Never wealthy but I'm doin' o.k.
Just a man with a plan to get by
And after work I need to relax
It's time to watch television
I grab a beer and a couple of snacks
But oh no, there's no show, and here's why
It's the State of the Union
Well now isn't this great
Now I won't get to see "The Biggest Loser"
So I quick change the channel 'cause I just can't relate
And I'll watch anything but the State of the Union
Glad I've got cable TV
Lots of shows, lots of channels
Hope something's on that I would like to see
With some T and some A, I can eye
But the State of the Union
Playing on channel 8
Means I won't get to stare at "Killer Women"
And I know that I'd rather watch a show about bait
Way before I'll start watching the State of the Union
Searching through all of the shows
Gimme great big explosions
Wanna see two boxers go toe to toe
Not some guy with a tie speechify
It's the State of the Union
And I'm telling you straight
You'll have more chuckles watching "Honey Boo Boo"
And as long as there's Michelob the country is great
And I don't need a speech on the state of the union
The State of the Union

I don't know about not getting to see "The Biggest Loser" he just commented on your parody and gave it 5's!
"It stinks!"
Hook up the Capitol lights to "The Clapper". When the democrats applaud the lies and phony promises, all the lights will go out. I'd tune in to watch that.
Wow! ..Some one actually watches that
