Obamaville (to the tune of Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet)

By: Jon Watts and Aaron Brakefield

Nibblin’ on spin cake Watchin’ the banks break All of those beaches covered with oil Drummin’ my fingers A parade of humdingers Illegals flooding American soil

Chorus: Wastin’ away again down in Obamaville Watchin’ my freedom under assault, All sides will claim that there’s another to blame But I know it's our own damn fault

I don't know the reason That the jobs aren’t increasin’ Nothin to show but my GI humvee But it's a real beauty An Afghanistan cutie How it got here I haven't a clue

Chorus: Wastin’ away again down in Obamaville Watchin’ my freedom under assault, All sides will claim that there’s another to blame But I know it's our own damn fault

They blew out my Bradley An IED almost had me Got my leg, had to fly on back home But there's beer in the cooler And despite our dear ruler I’ll toast to the guys hopin’ freedom hangs on

Wastin’ away again down in Obamaville Watchin’ my freedom under assault, All sides will claim that there’s another to blame But I know it's our own damn fault Yes and all sides will claim that there’s another to blame And I know it's our own damn fault

[Moozle]

Funny, if a bit sad. From a GI perspective.

[Moozle]

We sent in to Glenn Beck, hoping he’ll make a sung version..

[jongaltsr]

.... I'm watching you....!

[Mich Patriot]

Very good, thanks for sharing it!!!

[a fool in paradise]

[commish]

awesome Moozle.. Just one small suggestion.. Just as Jimmy changes the Fault in each verse ...
Something like
Chorus 1, But I know it’s all Bush’s fault
Chorus 2, But I know it could be our fault
Chorus 3, But I know it’s our own damn fault.

[gimme1ibertee]

I like it! Paul Shanklin should get it and make a song out of it....

[thackney]

BTTT

[Moozle]

Wow! good catch...

[Moozle]

That would be great too! We just want people to hear it.
We’re all behind the best version that can be heard by as many people as possible, hoping it will wake some up!

If anyone knows a recognizable singer that might do it, feel free to forward!

‘Buffet’ is actually Buffett...two T’s.

My version:

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin' msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood--
It’s beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it's Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties, how they got passed
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,-- hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it's my own damn fault damn fault.

[Patrick1]

Let me say it again!

[Moozle]

Whoops! My apologies to Mr. Buffett!!

I posted my version a few days ago:

Wastin’ Away Again in the West Wing

Nibblin on great steaks
Cancellin’ those tax breaks
The whole damn Gulf, it’s covered in oil
Playing my fiddle
Watchin’ Congress diddle
Countin’ tax money from the pee-ons that toil

Wastin away again in the West Wing
Searching for my lost copy of “Rules….”
I’m gonna claim that the right wing’s to blame
Then they’ll think….that it isn’t my fault

I don’t have any clues
How to fix these folks blues
Nothin’ to show but this new golfer’s tan
But it’s a real beauty
Got it shirking my duty
How I got elected, I haven’t a clue

Wastin away again in the West Wing
Searching for my lost copy of “Rules….”
I’m gonna claim that the right wing’s to blame
Then they’ll think….that it isn’t my fault

I bogied the last hole
Won’t let ‘em burn coal
Blamed George Bush for all the problems at home
Considering surrender
Changin’ what’s legal tender
Gettin’ me a golf cart all covered in chrome

Wastin away again in the West Wing
Searching for my lost copy of “Rules….”
I’m gonna claim that the right wing’s to blame
Then they’ll think….that it isn’t my fault

[Moozle]

I hope someone’s version will hit the airwaves. There’s all kinds of rich materioal for that tune.

And of course there’s the south park episode ‘Margaritaville’.
