CAPITOL STEPS lyrics : "A Leader Like Barack"

[Girl #1, spoken:] Gosh, is she really supporting... him?
[Girl #2, spoken:] I don't know, let's ask her.
[Boy, spoken:] "Delores, is that you-know-who's picture you're carrying?

["Delores," spoken:] Yeah. Oh!
[Girl #1, spoken:] Gee, it must be great campaigning for him. Are you
goin' to the rally later?

["Delores," with a sharp intake of breath:] Un-hunh.
[Boy, spoken:] By the way...
[Boy & Girl, spoken:] Where'dja meet him?

["Delores," sung:] I saw his great acceptance spee-eech,
So young and handsome on TV.
["Delores," spoken:] You get the picture?

[Boy & Girls, spoken:] Yes, we see.
["Delores," sung:] And that's when I fell for a leader named Barack.


["Delores," sung:]
Some folks are always putting him down, (down, down).
They say he comes from the wrong side of town.

(Whatcha mean when they say,)
(That he comes from the wrong side of town?)
(Oooo...) But I know he can be a winner,

A modern remake of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" 1
Now we all must vote for a leader like Barack.


Now Mrs. Clinton, you should be warned, (warned, warned).
You lost and you don't understand why.
(Whatcha mean when you say,)

(She isn't understanding why?)
Voters say that race is something you don't fool with,
But sexism is something we're totally cool with.

The time is not right for a leader with a rack. 2

["Delores," spoken:]

And then, and I had a dream.
It was the 2008 election and Barack Obama,
Was the Democratic nominee.

Everything was going just great,
Until those Republicans started in with those...
Well, with those darned attack ads.


[Male voice, spoken:]
Barack Hussein Obama,

What kind of a name is that?
Sure, he might not kill, boil and eat your children,
But why take the chance?


[Girls, excitedly:] Look out, look out, look out, look out!


["Delores," sung:]
Now I found someone I can embrace, (race, race).
My friends say he can not win this race.

(I can't believe your friends, would talk about his race.)
(Oooo...) Is Obama black? Not very.
Not like Whoopie Goldberg, more like Halley Be-ee-erry.

Once you go Barack, you're never going back.
