'Barack the Magic Negro' music and lyrics

    Set to the tune of Peter, Paul and Mary's 'Puff the Magic Dragon', the song 'Barack the Magic Negro' was included in the CD sent by Tennessee Republican Chip Saltsman to his committee members as a Christmas present.

    Saltsman, who is a candidate for the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairmanship, defended on CNN that it was clearly intended as a joke.

    'Barack the Magic Negro' was first played in Rush Limbaugh show last September.

    Here's a video of the song with lyrics below:



    “Barack the magic negro” Lyrics

    Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
    The L.A. Times they called him that
    cause he’s not authentic like me

    Yeah the guy from the L.A. paper
    said he made guilty whites feel good
    they’ll vote for him and not for me
    cause hes not from da hood

    see real black men like snoop dogg
    or me or farrakhan
    have talked the talk and walked the walk
    not come and laid and won (not sure about this line)

    Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
    The L.A. Times they called him that
    cause he’s not authentic like me
    cause hes black but not authentically

    Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
    The L.A. Times they called him that
    cause he’s not authentic like me
    cause hes black but not authentically

    some say barack’s articulate
    and bright and new and clean
    the media sure love this guy
    a white interloper’s dream

    but when you vote for president
    watch out and dont be fooled
    dont vote the magic negro in
    cause…

    (background singing the first 3 lines, while the singer is saying)

    Cause I wont have nothing after all these years of sacrifice and I wont get justice this is about justice this is about justice, buffet, i dont have no buffet there wont be any church contributions there’ll be no cash in the collection plate, no cash money, no walkin around money…
