Landslide, or, Palin, Palin, Failin'

by Don Wheeler

(sung to the tune of Rawhide!)

Palin, Palin, Palin...
Palin, Palin, Palin...
Palin, Palin, Palin...
Failin', Failin', Failin'...

Palin, Palin', failin'
John's campaign derailing
Looks to be clear sailing
Landslide!

John threw a deep "Hail Mary"
But states he needs to carry
Show margins becoming pretty wide

It seemed there was no danger
But he's become a stranger, and
Barack's on one heck of a ride

Show im up
Put 'im down
Move 'im out
Close 'im out
Shut 'im down
Close 'im out
Landslide!

Reel 'im in
Move him out,
Put 'im down
Shut 'im up
Close 'im out
Knock 'im out
Landslide!

Palin, Palin', failin',
Clear thinking she's impalin'
Republicans are bailin'
Landslide!

Her days are getting darker,
Though thought to be a sparker
Soon she'll be livin' high and wide

Hate's her biggest tactic
And not the least didactic
Head to Alaska and hide

Show em up
Put 'em down
Move 'em out
Close 'em out
Shut 'em up
Close 'em out
Landslide!

Reel 'em in
Move 'em out,
Put 'em down
Shut 'em up
Close 'em out
Knock 'em out
Landslide!

Hmmmm, I don't know if I want to sing about clear sailing yet. Let's see how many white people are going to overcome their prejudice enough to vote for a black man, especially in Indiana. I have a friend who comes from a mostly Democratic background who was very blunt about it: "I'm not voting for that n****r. Things are going to get really bad if he wins."
