The Lyrics

Barack Obama as Sir Joseph
Sir Barry:

When I was a lad I served a term
with Bill Ayers' wife at a big law firm.
I cleaned no windows and I swept no floor
'cause I want the office in the top-most floor.

Chorus:

'Cause he wants the office in the top-most floor.

Sir Barry:

I did so little and so carefully,
that now I am the ruler of the Left's Party.

Chorus:

He did so little and so carefully,
that now he is the ruler of the Left's Party.

Sir Barry:

As law firm lad I showed such grit
that they gave me a post in the State Senate.
I voted often and I voted clear,
and the only vote recorded was my vote of "here."

Chorus:

And the only voted recorded was his vote of "Here."

Sir Barry:

I voted "here" and so heartlessly,
that now I am the ruler of the One's Party.

Chorus:

He voted "here" and so heartlessly,
that now he is the ruler and it's his party.

Sir Barry:

I soon grew tired of all that work,
so I ran for Senator against some jerk.
I saw no need to remain there long,
and my current campaign is four years' long.

Chorus:

The campaign's going on now four years strong.

Sir Barry:

But that campaign so suited me
that now I am the leader of the Left's party.

Chorus:

And that campaign proved he's no Commie,
or only the kind with a lower-case 'c'.

Sir Barry:

Now lefties all, whoever you may be,
if you once set up the Annenburg C.
If you want to help spread the wealth fairly,
then listen real close and listen to me.

Chorus:

Then listen real close and listen to He.

Sir Barry:

Stuff the ballot box on November 4th,
and we'll tax that plumber for all he's worth!

Chorus:

Stuff the ballot box on November 4th,
and we'll tax that plumber for all he's worth!
