Obama-lama-ding-dong
Alack, Barack! Iraq is back! Alack. Alack-a-day! Obama-lama-ding-dong. And who’s to show the way? Afghanistan, again, again. Kabul-a-bula-boo, Obama-lama-ding-dong. Obama, is it you? Hezbollah tra-la tra-la, Hamo, Hamas, Hamat. And al-Qaida sits astride a Pakistani mountain top. Kim Jong-il will wish you ill. Fidel and Hugo hate you, And Rootin’ Tootin’ Putin Will try to Putin-ate you. A hitch! A glitch! Blagojevich! The ills of Illinois! Watch your back, Barack, Barack, Our barefoot, beamish boy. For fear, for fear, Obama dear! The wears and tears and snares; The lobbyists and terrorists May catch you unawares. There’s Wall Street crooks in all the nooks Where mortgage lenders prey. Double, double, housing bubble! Fraudy Mac and Fraudy Mae! And once upon a Ponzi, Madoff paid off the Jews In heckle-jeckle shekels, As regulators snoozed. There's wealth, corruption, greed and graft, Venal, upper-class sins. There’s hunger, poverty, disease, And don’t forget assassins. Abortion, health care, taxes, guns, Bailouts, and stimuluses. Obama-lama-ding-dong. It’s not a job for wooses. Fox News and Rupert Murdoch May not rate you highly While being fair and balanced Like Limbaugh and O’Reilly. Can you be the Great Ali And do the rope-a-dope? Our champion and our hero? (I hope-I hope-I hope). You’ll have to be Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger, Lash La Rue, Wyatt Earp, the Cisco Kid, And Annie Oakley too. You’ll have to be a man of steel, Iron, silver, bronze, Mighty Mouse and Underdog, The Great White Hope, The Fonz. You’ll have to be a pop star, A Captain Kangaroo, The Beatles or The Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder, Sting, The Who. As Caesar’s wife, you must be pure, As Oprah Winfrey, good. You’ll have to make the White House Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. You must be the Second Coming! Billy Graham, the Dalai Lama.O heck! Have a ding-dong anyway, Barack Hussein Obama.
