Last night at the Starry Plough Open Mic I premiered this ditty on my blue mountain ukulele, & it went over quite well, I must say. Here's the first three verses, & you can probably come hear it as a duet when Steffy Sue plays the featured act at the Starry Plough on January First. (She, dressed as an elf in all red, has a whole Christmas Album, including dirty versions like "Blue Ball Christmas".) Come! Then, who knows, maybe we'll hop the Obama bus to the Nevada Caucus on January 19th, & try to get on national television.
The Little Drummer Boy, which I had previously ranked as Most Annoying Christmas Song, here takes on a somber reflective tone, sweetly chanting the name of our favorite black gay secretly-Muslim Presidential candidate:
Come, he calls me,**Have you noticed that transcripts of Obama's speeches always spell it "gonna" instead of "going to"? Is this a new phenomenon, is this now acceptable in print?
Ba-rack O-ba-ma!

And, as for this line, it can easily be updated to "Giuliani", "Huckabee", or "Romney."
