Two Hoots For Obama! (Song Lyrics)

To John McCain
I give no hoot
A fan of him I’m not

To Miss Palin
I’d give a hoot
Cause she’s a hoot and hot… NOT

To Joe Biden
I’d give a hoot
Cause he’s a hoot to me

But to Obama
I’d give two hoots
Cause he’s worth it to me… YEAH
HOOT! HOOT! (Join me!)

HOOT! HOOT! (What was that?)
HOOT! HOOT! (I can’t hear you!)
HOOT! HOOT!

And I’d give Bush the boot!

.

Old John McCain
Should change his name
To McCan’t or McAin’t

And Miss Palin
Should change her name
To bailin’, failin’ or jailin’

Then Joe Biden
Should change his name
To Joe Verifyin’

And Obama
Of course, should be
Obamafofanabananaramabobana
HOOT! HOOT! (Too funny!)

HOOT! HOOT! (Louder!)
HOOT! HOOT! (One more time!)
HOOT! HOOT!

And Bush should change his name to Moot!

.

I’m a rootin’ tootin’ hootin’ for Obama
While bootin’ shootin’ Putin down McCain
Then hackin’ sackin’ whackin’ Bush
And doing it all again!

I’m a rootin’ tootin’ hootin’ for Obama
While bootin’ shootin’ Putin down McCain
So the world can be a better place
And we can happily HOOT! again!
HOOT! HOOT! (HOOT! if you agree!)

HOOT! HOOT! (I knew you would!)
HOOT! HOOT! (Again!)
HOOT! HOOT!

And let’s give Bush the boot!

.

Old John McCain
Has lots of loot
That he won’t give away

While Miss Palin
Plays the flute
That’s where her mouth should stay

Now Joe Biden’s
No Hillary
But I’ll withhold judgment

Cause Obama’s
The choice for me
For the next President… YEAH
HOOT! HOOT! (HOOT! if you believe!)

HOOT! HOOT! (HOOT! if you want change!)
HOOT! HOOT! (One last time!)
HOOT! HOOT!

And let’s give Bush the boot!
HOOT!

Notes to this poem…

This started out as an idea that evolved into a poem, Political Hoots, but I thought it would stop there… even though the way it came into my head was a country or bluegrass style of song. I had no desire to spend more time to write anything that was going to lose its appeal in a matter of weeks after the US Presidential campaign was going to be over. However, it would not go away in my head so I figured I’d just give it time over my lunch hours and during my errands to see it to the lyrics stage, and here it is!

I don’t know if I will have the time and/or resources to turn it into a full blown song, and record it so I could share when it might still have its appeal. However, if you are reading this and would like to use it, please feel free to do so as long as you share writing credits. Any money you can make from it is all yours!
