"Just Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale..." with complete lyrics.
A short time ago, these lyrics appeared on the internet, likely in response to the circulation of this photo:
It's not known if the lyrics were the work of an Obama staffer who thought it was a good joke, or Ari Fleischer who thought it was a good idea. In either case, here is the version making its way around the internet:
Just sit right back and youll hear a tale,
A tale of a great campaign
To save us from a Kenyan
Who was named Barack Hussein.
The mate was a mighty huntin man,
The skipper went by Newt.
The GOP set sail that day
For another photo shoot.
Employment start rising,
The economy improved;
It looked like the Muslim socialist
Might never be removed might never be removed.
They ran aground on the shoals of narrow ideology,
With saintly Newt
(Whos wed three times),
With Perry who
Cant count that high;
The millionaire --
Forget the rest,
They're deep-sixed along with 9-9-9.
So this is the tale of our candidates,
And its an ugly fight;
They crank the wing-nut rhetoric
To prove whos most far right.
Now Willard and the Newtster both
Deploy their mighty wits
On tax cuts for the moon and long-form
Birth certificates.
Cut this! Cut that! Cut everything!
Raise taxes on the poor;
Such brilliant new ideas
And you betcha they got more.
So join us here each week my friends,
Its going to be a while
Before the final losers voted
Off of G-O-P Isle.
