Eleanor Zogby

BEFORE YOU READ ANY FURTHER, CHECK OUT THE COMMENTS. Got to admit my lyrics were just 'okay'...Elmer's Brother's written some AMAZING political lyrics to famous Beatle tunes..CHECK THEM OUT in COMMENTS!!













Aaaah, look at all the ornery people
Ah, look at all the ornery people


Barack Obama picks up the lice
in the hall where his comrades have been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the dais, wearing the face that he keeps in a speech for the poor
That’s who it’s for

All the ornery people
Where do they all come from?
All the ornery people
How did they all go wrong?

Pastor Jeremiah writing the words of a sermon
Barack couldn’t hear
Had he deaf ears?
Look at him working, damning his country in front
of a crowd who agreed
They take his lead

All the ornery people
Where do they all come from?
All the ornery people
How did they all go wrong?

Barack Obama fails in a speech
and then blames it on poor John McCain
Ain’t that a pain?
Biden’s back gaffing, how can he diss Sarah Palin and try to look cool?
Only a fool!

All the ornery people
Where do they all come from?
All the ornery people
How can they be so dumb?

-Z*

*With thanks and acknowledgment to THE BEATLES, of course, for the melody..(come on, you were humming while you read, right?) and, especially, to MIKE, my FPM buddy and purveyor of excellent Saturday night Rock'n Roll delivered to my computer...for the very clever twist on the TITLE! Thanks, Mike!

Hey Z, do we have to pay you royalties every time we sing it?
Ha, ha, ha.

Really, very clever, Z Pretty darn good.

I wonder what genius is lurking beneath the surface of the GEEEZ! regulars.

Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Dear Sir or Madam will you read his book,
It took him years to write will you take a look,
Based on a novel by a man named Obama,
And he needs a job,
The only one he's really had is a paperback writer,

Paperback writer.

It’s a dirty story of a dirty man,
The blogs of the right don’t understand.
Bill Ayers the terrorist is a changed man,

tell the fainting mob,
he's only been a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

It’s a thousand pages give or take a few,
He'll be writing more in a month or two,
He'll make it longer everyone likes the style,
He can change it round,
And all he's ever been is a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.

If you really like him you can have the rights,
He'll take a million from you overnight,
He's the one you've been waiting for all right,
But he's a fake,
And all he's gonna be is a paperback writer,
Paperback writer

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was up there, among the pillars today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now those days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find you've changed my mind when you brought Sarah Pahlin on the floor.

Help me if you can, my poll numbers are down
And I didn't appreciate Hillary being round.
Help me, get my campaign back off the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My presidency seems to vanish in the haze.
But even now I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need Hillary like I've never done before.

Help me if you can, my poll numbers are down
And I do appreciate Bill Clinton being round.
Help me, get my campaign off of the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.

When the campaign was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find Sarah's changed their minds and opened up the door.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I know now Joe Biden's just a clown .
Help me, get Joe in that evening gown,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.

The Ballad of Obama and Joe

Standing on the stage in Berlin,
Trying to be JFK's twin.
All the democrat hacks said, "You've got to go back".
You know they didn't even give me a chance.

Joe you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Hillary was supposed to crucify me.

Finally made the plane into Denver,
Hoping Hillary won't be an Indian giver
Hillary called in to say,
"You can make it O.K.,
You can catch me in the next campaign

Joe you know it ain't easy,
I should have picked Hillary.
The way things are going
The delegates are gonna crucify me.

Drove from the Pepsi Center to Invesco,
Talking in my sleep for a week.
The newspaper said, "Say what you want and pretend"
I said, "We're only trying to get us some peace".

Joe you know it's so easy,
You know how easy it can be.
The way things are going
The press will never crucify me.

no need to save your money for a rainy day,
uh uh give me the clothes off your back.
Last night Joe Biden said,
"Oh boy, you're articulate bright and clean"
I had that surgery on my bean - oh no - think!"

Made a lightning trip to Norleans,
Eating chocolate cake in a bag.
The newspaper said, "Sarah's gone to his head,
Joe and Hillary look just like two gurus in drag".

Joe you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
Sarah's gonna crucify me.

Caught the early plane back to Houston.
Hoping the polls will bounce back.
The men from the press said, "We wish you success,
You know we really got your back back".

Joe you know it ain't easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
The voters are gonna crucify me.
The way things are going
They're gonna crucify me.

Get Back (Joe Joe)

Joe Biden was a man who thought he was a goner
Obama knew it wouldn't last.
We knew Picking Jojo Biden was a boner
He should have picked someone with class.

Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jojo. Go home
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Back to where you once belonged.
Get back Jo.

Sweet Joe Biden should have been
a woman
But he was another man
All the Indians around him say he's got it coming
He gets the donuts while he can

Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back and get vetted. Go home
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back and get vetted

His VP's waiting for ya
the Pitbull in lipstick
And her hair up in a bun
You're going home Joe Joe

Get back, get back.
Get back to where you once belonged.

Blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah
blah blah blah

There's nothing I can say that can't be done
You know I'm lying watch my tongue
I've nothing to learn but I can play the game
It's easy

There's nothing I can't make that can't me made
Nothing I can't do but I can teach you how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

Blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah
Blah, blah, blah

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothing I know that isn't known
Nothing I can see that isn't shown
Nowhere I can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love is all you need
That is all you need
That is all you need
That is all you need
That is all you need

He loves you blah blah blah
He loves you blah blah blah

I'll save the Hello Goodby song for after the election

elmers brother said...

Mr Obama, sycophants at your feet.
Wonder how they'll manage the balance sheet
Who finds the money? when you pay the rent?
They think the money should be gubmint sent

Friday night arrives with a taxbase
Tuesdays higher taxes have just begun.
Mondays we're all broke and in the poor house
See how they spun.

Mr Obama, your disciples at your breast.
Wonder how you'll manage to feed the rest.
See how they spun.

Mr. Obama, lying in his bed,
Listen to the voices playing in his head.

Tuesday afternoon ever spending.
Wednesday morning entitlements didnt come.
Thursday night your stocks needed mending.
See how they spun.

Barrack Obama, empty coffers at your feet.
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet.
