Oh! Obama

(Thanks to Oh! Susanna, by Stephen Foster)

Verse 1:
He come from old Chicago, but before that who knows where?
He attended Harvard, so he says, but no one knows him there.

Verse 2:
He’s got a thing for millionaires; he thinks they’re pretty low.
If they would cough up their fair share we’d be rolling in the dough.

Refrain:
Oh! Obama, now don’t You count on me.
Even though I’m in Cook County I’ll be voting for Romney.

Verse 3:
He likes his gov’ment nice and big: the Founders’ worstest fears.
If You think it can’t grow bigger, well, just give him four more years.

Verse 4:
He’s an expert on the Constitution, a professor, so I’m told.
But when he’s in the White House it doesn’t seem to hold.

Refrain:
Oh! Obama, now don’t You count on me.
Even though I’m in Cook County I’ll be voting for Romney.

Verse 5:
When You took office didn’t You say that things would soon be great?
But everyone can see the country’s worse than in ’08.

Verse 6:
I hope You had a good four years, I know that might sound strange,
But when I cast my vote I will be hoping for a change.

Refrain:
Oh! Obama, now don’t You count on me.
Even though I’m in Cook County I’ll be voting for Romney.
