The Final Curtain Call
Presidential Parody Band

Verse 1:

Ladies and gents, gather 'round, don't stray
It's January 2016, Obama's final say
The Union's strong, that's what he'd assess
But wait for the humor, the self-roasting mess

(Breakdown)

Put your hands together, it’s the last curtain call
A rollercoaster speech, get ready for the sprawl
Slip-ups and fumbles, a comedic buffet
Buckle up tight, it’s the President’s day

Chorus:

Oh Obama, oh Obama, how you always charm
But tonight you’re in the hot seat, let’s sound the alarm
With your “Uhms” and your “Ahs” and your teleprompter dread
You end up roasting yourself instead

Verse 2:

The first slip started with “State of the Onion”
Crowd erupts in laughter, a true dominion
He chuckles and says, “You know I’m just human”
But that’s just act one, more laughs are bloomin’

Bridge:

Healthcare plans and tax reform—
He trips on his words, oh so forlorn
“You try saying ‘infrastructure’ ten times fast!”
The audience giggles, they’re having a blast

Chorus:

Oh Obama, oh Obama, how you always charm
But tonight you’re in the hot seat, let’s sound the alarm
With your “Uhms” and your “Ahs” and your teleprompter dread
You end up roasting yourself instead

Verse 3:

He wraps up with a grin, “Well, that’s all this cat wrote”
“Eight years in office—still can’t get this coat!”
He pokes fun at his ears, his graying hair
“Gotten old with you, America—oh the wear and tear!”

Refrain:

Ladies and gents, it’s his final ball
Obama roasts himself, gives us his all
He bows to the crowd, a leader in jest
Slip-ups and all, he gave us his best

Final Chorus:

Oh Obama, oh Obama, how you’ve always charmed
On your final Union speech, no need for alarm
With your “Uhms” and your “Ahs,” your teleprompter thread
You succeeded in roasting yourself instead

Outro:

So long, farewell, to the man on the stand
Obama’s last curtain call, wasn’t it grand?
Slip-ups or not, he’s forever our guy
Just a man with a plan, who gave it a try
