Pennsylvania’s Song (To the tune of “King Herod’s Song”)

Opening Chorus:

Hey Bama Ho Bama

Bama, Bama Hey

Bama Hey Bama Ho, Ba-ma

Hey Bar-ry, Bar-ry, won’t you smile at me?

Bama hey, Bama ho, Superstar

Pennsylvania

Barry we are overjoyed to meet you face to face,

You’ve been getting quite a name, all around the place

Unifying liberals,Registering the red

You’re the one who’s diff-er-ent -

At least that’s what you’ve said.

Chorus

So you are the hope

You’re the great liberal hope

Prove to us that you’re electable

Make our scrap-ple delect’ble

That’s all you need do

Then we’ll know it’s all true

C’mon you candidate of change

Pennsylvania

Barry we just can’t believe

The hype the press has made

They write of you so glowingly

It seems as if they’re paid

You point them to your record

Say you’re against the war

But when you got your chance to vote

You walked right out the door

Chorus

So you are the hope

You’re the great liberal hope

Prove to us that you’re the one –

Pledge to use the general fund

If you do that for us,

We can jump on your bus

C’mon, candidate of change

Pennsylvania

We only ask what we’d ask any superstar

What lobbyists have you ensnared

That put you where you are?

Oh wait!We remember.

You Don’t take it their hands

You take it from their friends and Families

--- and from Rezco’s lands

Chorus

So if you are the hope

You’re the great liberal hope

Save us, those typ-ically white

Make us forget the Reverend Wright!

-Also NAFTA and Afghanistan

Say, just when do you take a stand?

Aren’t you the candidate of change?

Pennsylvania

Hey Bar, you are so full of guile
You vote present, then you smile

You’re a fraud – You’re not for change

You’re just doin’ it all the same
You are worse then the rest
Cause you claim you’re the best
Get out you candidate

Get out you candidate

You ain’t no candidate of change!
