VIDEO: The Battle Hymn of the Sarah Palin

There’s nothing better than an amateur upload that’s been languished on YouTube with relatively no views, only to break out from video obscurity and triumphantly make its way around the series of tubes. This clip, which hit YouTube two days before Halloween, is first now getting the recognition it deserves.

Two elderly supporters of political celebrity Sarah Palin recorded a tribute song to their Tea Party heroine set to the tune of the Civil War anthem, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” The new-and-improved “Sarah Palin Battle Hymn” — written by Tom Dempsey and sung by Gary Mcvay — appears to come from the church’s back office and go straight to God’s ears.

We’ve taken the liberty — and we do stress liberty — of transcribing the transcendental lyrics that could only have fallen from the tongues of angels and the uvula of the Baby Jesus. They follow the video. But forewarned be thee: Palin, according to these likely opponents of death panels, will throw members of Congress in jail, hunt for skunk and literally freeze Congress like a Batman villain. Oh, also, while she’s not a Harvard lawyer, she knew what the Founders meant. Like, she knows knows, man.

LYRICS:
She’s a cold blast from Alaska
Ingrained with common sense
She’s not a Harvard lawyer, but she knew what the Founders meant

A cold blast from the North
That freezes Congress in their tracks
With God and the Tea party, she’s gonna take it back

Sarah Palin, she won’t listen to their bunk
Sarah Palin’s comin’ south to hunt some skunk
Sarah Palin, she’ll throw ‘em all in jail
And when she gets to Washington, it’ll be cold as hell

Sarah has the wisdom to walk through an open door
She’s stomping out the wretches where the evil lies in store
She will scrub the floors and sweep the riff-raff into cracks
With God and the Tea party, she’s gonna take it back

Sarah Palin, she won’t listen to their bunk
Sarah Palin’s comin’ south to hunt some skunk
Sarah Palin, she’ll throw ‘em all in jail
And when she gets to Washington, it’ll be cold as hell

SPOKEN WORD:
Congress pats themselves from some new bill they just passed
I watch as my freedom slowly runs through an hourglass

They think they spend our money better than we do
But they can talk until they’re blue and old

‘Cuz if they ever gave us anything
They always wanted something in return…Sarah knows!

OPERA-STYLE:
Saraaaaah’s marching onnnnnnnn onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

CLOSING DEDICATION:

“I’d like to dedicate that to the Tea Party and all the patriots.”
