Sing a Song of Obama

By now you've probably seen the video of school kids singing their praises to Obama, but you may not have had a chance to enjoy all the lyrics to both songs. So that you too may sing along, here you go:

Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!

With all the Hollywood entertainers who supported Obama, weren't there any songwriters in that bunch?

I highlighted one particular phrase in the first song because that phrase wasn't very original. Here's the Obama version:

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight

And here's the version I sang as a little kid in church:

Red and yellow black and white

They are precious in his sight

Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Somehow, it's just not the same. And the brown kids got the shaft in both songs.
