It's Obama Time!

So far I have learned to say "He's my first president!" when I see his picture in the newspaper. In his honor, I have adapted one of the masterpieces of Western literature:


Eight years are up.
It's getting late.
W's passed his expiry date.
It's Obama Time!

Good for society's bottom!
Good for its top!
Get your yourselves set to Obama-de-bop--
It's Obama Time!

Some voters are old
and some are new.
Some states are red
and some are blue.
Some voters' logic is fuzzy.
Some is not.
But we can all be happy with the president we've got.
It's Obama Time!
Ooooo yes, it's Obama Time!

Some voters are Hispanic and some are Asian,
But everyone's horrified by Sarah Palin.
She might be crazy or she might not--
Thanks McCain for making Barack the only choice we've got!

Obama unites the left.
Obama charms the right.
'Bama 'bama 'bama 'bama Biden!
Everybody's dancing in the streets tonight.
'Bama 'bama 'bama 'bama Biden!

Now everyone to Grant Park in one big crowd,
crying and marveling and yelling real loud.
It's Obama Time!

Yes we can, yes we can shine a light--
Do not go gentle into that good night.
It's Obama Time!
(LOUDER, LOUDER)
It's Obama Time!
(LOUDER, LOUDER)
IT'S OBAMA TIME!


Please feel free to share with your friends who are toddlers, or who have them. They are the only ones who are likely to get it.
