Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Yeah, to do it, Obama,
To stay in place has gotta
Have a miracle, so not to say “ta-ta.”
And it there is one, well he just might stay;
If not, “hasta la vista”
Is likely to be his karma.

Because he’s not a magician,
No, he is not a magician
Though prez. . .just a politician.

Pol’s Obama. . . .

If he’s to win, Obama,
If to stay in, Obama
Must perform economic Santería.
And if he can do that, he might just stay,
Or “So long; we’ll see ya.”

If he’s to stay, Obama,
Yeah to stay in, Obama,
That mansion—in Spanish, Casablanca—
Is gonna have to have an act of god.
And if not, sayonara
AKA, “hasta la vista.”
(As the mad bald man from Louisiana
Said, “It’s the economy, stupid!” Aha!

So, Obama. . . ?

Hasta la vista. Doesn't Santeria involve sacrificing goats? I wouldn't put it past him.
