Sorry, Jimmy:
Nibblin’ on coffee cake
Watchin’ some bum take
All of the handouts
From some others’ toil
Strummin’ my six phones
Amidst all the chicken bones
Smell those socks? They’re beginnin’ ta boilWasted away again in my ObamaVille
Chanting mic check near the Chase vault,
Some people claim
That Obama’s to blame,
But I know
It’s George Bush’s faultDon’t know the reason
My toes are a-freezin’
With nuthin’ to show
For the whole protest zoo.
But Barack is a beauty
A Che-lovin’ cutie.
How he got there we haven’t a clue.Wasted away again in my ObamaVille
Where the cops just told us to halt
Some people claim
That there’s a rich man to blame
But I know
It’s my own damn fault.I lit up my hashpipe,
And wrote down some more gripes,
To share with the media who think we are great.
We scream for demands met,
That we don’t know what yet,
We just down twinkle fingers all grown up debate.Wasted away again in My ObamaVille.
Searching for one more reason to march.
Some people claim
My college major’s to blame,
But I know
That it can’t be my fault.‘O’ did another flip flop,
And won’t make the seas stop.
Rising to cover my beachside commune.
But it’s not a deal ender,
I’ll just go on a bender,
It’s not as if I can’t just sleep in ’till noon.Wasted away again in my ObamaVille.
Searching for my
Lost drum buddy Earl.
Some people claim
The evil 1%’s to blame.
But if I take
Another kool-aid hit, I’ma hurl.
I can’t hog the whole ball here. Write another verse and let me link you.
Update: Props to RocksEm, whose chorus I put inline, and K_Bob for the second verse, and Toombs for a different chorus. Why not?
Update II: Linked at The Lonely Conservative.
Update III: The song is complete! Thanks to Christy and RandyW for joining the fray.
Update IV: McGehee chimes in, and I threw on a chorus about drums, and this is linked at The Daley Gator.
Update V: Picked up by Fishersville Mike.
Don’t know the reason

Great! Got you linked!
You guys are regular Coral Reefers! Good job!
Sittin’ here on a nasty neighbor’s stoop
Too lazy to walk
But I still gotta poop
The bourgie store
owners lockin doors
Keepin all us out
To save their floors. I ain’t gonna hold it-
Lettin it fly in Obamaville

I <3 you, @Richard_Mcenroe, but I'm not hearing the music in this one.
“Wasted Away Again In My ObamaVille” now longer than Buffet’s. Cover band sought.
I love it, especially since the original is one of the songs I know by heart, despite the left leanings of the “artist.” We need to find a singer who can make a video. Awesome!
Not to harsh every one’s mellow but I disagree with calling these park campins Obamavilles. There are real Obamavilles out there with people hurting in them.
Oh please God, make this go viral. . .

Workin’ on new signs
Seems just like old times
Ain’t had it so good
Since the Sixties went bust
Drummin’ four hours
Despite locals’ glowers
