Year of Mister O

The Year of Mr. O
By Jane Gilday
Performed by John and Colin McFadden

O brothers, have you seen Abe Lincoln
With a paper in his hand?
Says we're all gonna get a mule
And forty acres of land!

Abe Lincoln come ha-ha!
Jeff Davis go, ho-ho.
We're gonna have a jubilation
In the year of jubilo!

(from Year of Jubilo, 1863, updated by Peter Stampfel)

O cousins have you seen the lizards
with the two face on they face?
their forked tongues now snackin' crow
'cause big O rocked the place

chorus:
Obama come ho-ho
the lizards slink and go
we're gonna have jubilation
in the year of mister O

Rove he sizzle
Cheney fizzle
nuttin' could they do
Bush go back to J.R. ranch
to fume on has-been stew

Evita Palin grin and wave
but backstage s**t-fit threw
she crawl back to old Wazoola
her wetdreams no come true

Rush and Sean say "uh-oh,
the Fairness Doctrine comes"
they radio their Goebbels-goo
but soon they jobless bums

No more play toy army men
and cowboy policy
frat boys and their frat-boy jive
got tossed out on the streets

Fundies fume and fundies fuss
was all their prayers for naught?
onward christian soldiers
didn't make the charts

Damn that bastard Gunga Din
where's his gratitude?
we used let him shine our boots
and even serve our food

Oh dear, I wonder if the funny farm security guard is tied up and gagged in the closet again. Jane Gilday is on the loose once more . . .
