Although Sarah Palin’s appearance on Saturday Night Live was not all it was cracked up to be--blame the SNL writers if you will--Amy Poehler’s Sarah Palin rap was a big hit and saved the night. Governor Sarah Palin merely sat in her chair and put her hands in the air, which was cute and showed Palin to be a good sport, but it was Amy Poehler and four cast members who stole the show.
Sarah Palin bowed out of performing the Sarah Palin rap herself on Saturday Night Live because she felt the lyrics were “too hardcore” and could negatively impact the McCain/Palin campaign. Despite Poehler doing the rap instead of Tina Fey, it was a great and memorable SNL performance.
Here are the viral and hysterical lyrics to Amy Poehler’s Sarah Palin rap on Saturday Night Live that many people will be searching for—in case one is too busy laughing to catch them all in the video.
one two threeMy name is Sarah Palin you all know me,
Vice president nominee of the GOP
Gonna need your vote in the next election
Can I get a “what what” from the senior section
McCain got experience, McCain got style
But don’t let him freak you out when he tries to smile
Cause that smile be creepy
But when I be vp
All the leaders in the world gonna finally meet me
How’s it go Eskimo
Eskimos
Tell me what you know Eskimo
Eskimos
How you feel Eskimo
Ice cold
Tell me tell me what you feel Eskimo
Super cold
I’m Jeremiah Wright cause tonight I’m the preacha’
I got a bookish look and you’re all hot for teacha’
Todd lookin fine on his snow machine
So hot, boy gonna need a go-between
In Wasilla we just chill baby chilla
But when I see oil, let’s drill baby drill
My country tis of thee
From my porch I can see
Russia and such
All the mavericks in the house put your hands up
All the mavericks in the house put your hands up
All the plumbers in the house pull your pants up
All the plumbers in the house pull your pants up
When I say ‘Obama’ you say ‘Ayers’
Obama. Ayers.
Obama. Ayers.
I built me a bridge - it ain’t goin’ nowhere.
Ohhh
McCain, Palin, gonna put the nail in the coffin
Of the media elite
She likes red meat
Shoot a mull humpin’ moose, eight days of the week [gunshots]
Now ya dead, now ya dead
Cause I’m an animal, and I’m bigger than you
Holdin a shotgun walk in the pub
Everybody party, we’re goin on a hunt
la la la la la la la la [gunshots]
Yo Palin, I’m out!
