lyrics

President Obama, you retired at 55.
But playing golf and drinking won’t keep that 'yes we can' alive
You led the Free World, ‘til 2017
How’d’ya feel about switching to a smaller, British team?

Wherever you were born don’t matter, we won’t enquire
You’re British if your birthplace was once part of our empire
Like America. Or Kenya. Or anywhere. If it suits us.
(We know you're American baby)

Prime Minister Obama, you’re the man of the hour
Come to the UK and kick the Tories out of power
Prime Minister Obama, you’ll leave the Red, White & Blue
But luckily the British flag has all those colours too

(Well, unless Scotland decides to leave…
Ow!)

I’m sure you’ll miss Hawaii but the Isle of Wight is fine
Don’t need an Oval Office when you’re on the Circle Line
We don’t have Thanksgiving or Independence Day
But our Morris Dancing Festivals aren’t as racist nowadays

Our country might not have the Stars and Stripes,
But we've got Beans on Toast and badgers and black pudding and bagpipes
And Halfords. And Carling. And Princess Anne.

(The Princess Royal is in...)

Prime Minister Obama, it might not seem worth it
But why would you choose Pumpkin Pie when you could have a crumpet?
Prime Minister Obama, we’ll keep our promise
It might not be a fair exchange but we’ll give you Boris

(Please don’t ever give that prick back)

Prime Minister Obama
