Obama Man
Posted on 04.30.09 by Danny Glover @ 7:17 pm

Comedian Greg Morton performs his “Obama Man” satire, sung to the tune of “The Candy Man,” in an appearance on “The Bob & Tom Show.”

Here’s the introductory rap: “Alright everybody. AIG, Bank of America, Citigroup, First National, Lone Star. Whaddya want, one, two, $300 billion? Come on over! I’m your candy man.” See all of the lyrics in the extended entry.

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 into cream and peaches
With sugar-coated, smooth-tongued speeches
I hope he practices what he preaches

Who can take tomorrow
Spend it all today?
Who can take your incomes
And tax it all away?
Obama Man. Yes, Obama Man can

Obama Man can ’cause he mixes it with hope
And makes the world feel good

Yes, Obama Man takes
Every speech he makes
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 a cut of me
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, good. More for GM
God bless this mess, everybody
Obama Man can
