PS...Thank you to all the folks who have posted civil comments. There are more fearful, negative people out there than I thought, hence the comments section has gotten progressively worse. I have shut down the section as a result. Thanks for viewing the video, and may the best man win!
There's No One as Irish as Barack OBama

O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
From the old Blarney Stone to the green Hill of Tara
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
You don't believe it, I hear you say
Barack's as Irish as was JFK
His granddaddys daddy came from Moneygall
A small Irish village, known to you all.
Hes as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew
Hes Hawaiian, Kenyan, American too
If he succeeds, and he has a chance
Im sure our Barack will do Riverdance
From Kerry and Cork to old Donegal
Lets hear it for Barack, from old Moneygall
From the Lakes of Killarney to old Connemara
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama
Tooral - U Tooral U Tooral U Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++
* NEW VERSES:
His Mams daddys granddaddy was one Falmuth Kearney
Hes as Irish as any from the Lakes of Killarney
His Mams from a long line of great Irish Mammas
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
He looks after his own, a true son of St. Patrick
He chose as his mate, Joe Biden, a Catholic,
Proddies, Jews, Muslims, even the Dalai Lama
Know there's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama.
Our Baracks a hero, Ive heard them say
Fenian to Kenyan, the American Way
Hes Cuchulainn, Liongo, not Vishnu or Brahma
But theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama
A name is a name and there's no doubt about it
Barack OBamas name, you can shout it
Whether apostrophe or inverted comma
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama.
Now you Hillary supporters don't you vote for McCain
And the VP needs brains, so forget about Palin
With Cheney and Bush, they are all ignorama
Theres no one as Irish as Barack OBama
Last Chorus:
Tooral - U Tooral S Tooral A Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
Tooral - U Tooral S Tooral A Toor a lama
There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
Moneygall is located on the border of the Irish county of Offaly. It is primarily residential although it also features open space around the edge of the village and non-residential buildings in the centre. The village has one main road, and a few smaller roads leading out of it. Obama, who won the recent U.S. election as the Democratic presidential nominee, won 360 electoral votes, more than enough to clinch the Presidency of the United States. He is the first African American to be elected President in U.S. history. Source : wikinews/youtube |
