Naked man uses obama's back door

The "nude guy at the gates of the White House" story,  as sung by Barack Obama himself!

(sung to the tune of Piano Man, by Billy Joel)

It's three o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's a nude man at the Northwest Gate
Smelling of urine and tonic and gin

He says, "Barry, can you give me a quarter?
I'm not really sure where mine goes
But you are my floozy, in the coin-operated jacuzzi
When you wear your emperor's clothes"

La, la, la, de, de, da
La, la, de, de, da, da, da

Sing us a song, you're the Bathhouse man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

Now John at the gate is a friend of mine
He gets me my choom for free
And he's quick with a smoke or to snort up your coke
But the Bathhouse is where he'd rather be

He says, "Barry, your economy is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could find me another job
If you would get out of this place"

Oh, la, la, la, de, de, da
La, la, de, de, da, da, da

Now Paul is a Desert Storm Veteran
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
They'll be in the VA waiting line for life

And Barry is practicing politics
As the press drinks up what he said
And I can't help but think we'd be better off
If the nude man were president instead

Sing us a song, you're the Bathhouse man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the secret service gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while

From my podium, it sounds like a carnival
And the teleprompter smells like a beer
And the press sits in the crowd and cheers my rhetorical flourish real loud
And I say, "Man, what is Ed Henry doin' here?"

Oh, la, la, la, de, de, da
La, la, de, de, da, da, da

Sing us a song, you're the Bathhouse man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

  3. Jess, You may be right. I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.

    Ed, The actual video at the end is meant to be a palate cleanser if my version was a stomach emptier!

  4. BTW, I wish I had a quarter for every time a nude man used Barry's back door.

  7. The comments are just as priceless as your lyrics! Prefer your lyrics over Billy's too. I'll be so glad when Backdoor Berry is back in Indonesia. Hope he remembers to take Magilla Gorilla and Suchi & Malari with him. ~:)
