‘Obama Man’ Song (Video and Lyrics to the Tune of ‘Candy Man’)

(Update: Now see “Obama in Mom Jeans,” another great song by Greg Morton!)

Here’s a funny parody called the “Obama Man Song” that pokes fun at Barack Obama’s administration, as sung by comedian Greg Morton.

 

Lyrics (By Greg Morton):

Alright everybody:
AIG, Bank of America, Citigroup, First National, Lone Star!
What do you want, 1…2…3…Hundred Billion?
Come on over! I’m your Candy Man!

Who can fix the mortgage?
General Motors too?
A bailout check for me,
And a bailout check for you.

Obama Man…Yes, Obama Man Can.
Obama Man can, ’cause he mixes it with hope and makes the world taste good.

Who can give ya health care?
Who can save the poor?
Who can pick the teams
That are in the final four?

Obama Man…Yes, Obama Man Can.
Obama Man can, ’cause he mixes it with hope and makes the world feel good.

Obama Man takes problems, and he makes ‘em…he makes ‘em…he turns ‘em into cream and peaches, sugar-coated, smooth-tongued speeches. (I hope he practice’ what he preaches!)

Who can take tomorrow,
Spend it all today?
Who can take your income
And tax it all away?

Obama Man…(Everybody!) Yes, Obama Man Can.
Obama Man can, ’cause he mixes it with hope and makes the world taste good.

Yes, Obama Man takes
Every speech he makes
And gives it a whole bunch of thinkin’,
When Michelle Obama’s winkin’.
(Then he runs it by Abe Lincoln!)

Who can buy an iPod,
Give it to the Queen?
Who can take economy
And turn it into green?

Obama Man…Yes, Obama Man Can.
Obama Man…Obama, man…Obama Man…

Hey Chrysler, GM…you want some money? Ford, you want some? No, you don’t? OK, more for GM! God Bless this mess everybody! Obama Man can!
