Obama, the Song

                                                To the tune of Oh Donna, with apologies to the late Ritchie Valens.


                                                                             Obama, Obama
                                                                             Obama, Obama
                                                                             I knew a man,
                                                                             Obama was his name,
                                                                             He was the Kingfish,
                                                                             Deception was his game.
                                                                             We voted for him,
                                                                             But Obama, who can you be?
                                                                             Who can you be?
                                                                             You promised us peace;
                                                                             You gave us more war
                                                                             Put drones in the skies
                                                                             Rage and hatred sown more.
                                                                             Yes, we voted for you,
                                                                             But Obama, who can you be? - Who can you be?
                                                                             Well darn it!  We didn't want Bush,
                                                                             But we got him in you.
                                                                             They say we should vote, but I don't know what to do.
                                                                             I knew a con man,
                                                                             Obama was his name,
                                                                             He was the Kingfish,
                                                                             Deception was his game.
                                                                             We voted for him,
                                                                             But Obama, who can you be?
Who can you be?
                                                                             Obama, Obama
                                                                             Obama, Obama
Who can you be?
