House Democrats' Lyrics To 'We're So In Love With' Obama Al Green Parody Revealed


First Posted: 02/ 2/2012 1:56 pm Updated: 02/ 2/2012 2:01 pm

House Democrats recently sought to build off President Barack Obama's now-famous singing of a line from Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" by recording their own single, a longer parody of the song meant to express their appreciation for the president. The lawmakers recorded the Obama-based rendition and gave him a CD copy of it at the annual Democratic retreat in Maryland last month.

There's no audio yet (thankfully?), but here are the lyrics, recently provided to Politico.

"We're ... We're so in love with you ...

We're going to help you make it through ...

By turning the red states blue ...

You make us feel so darn proud ...

We want to shout it out loud ...

Let's bring the country together ...

Supporting you whether ... whether times are good or bad ... happy or sad

Let's bring the country together ...

Supporting you whether ... whether times are good or bad ... happy or sad

Let's ... Let's stay together."

Lyrics by Rep. John B. Larson (D-Conn.) and Terisa Griffin, with "apologies to Al Green."

It would be nice if they really would support him, instead of making a joke about it.

If you're going to puke at least do it quietly, you really don't have to shout.

funny thing is when Romney saw how much people loved Obama singing, he tries and fails miserably.

How about ""How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" (Al Green version) instead?

three years ago today, President Obama told the American people that if he couldn't turn our economy around, he would be looking at a "one-term proposition."

This is your reply to a comment about Obama singing? You might have ODS, you better have it looked at.
