Last Tuesday I wrote a short post saying Chicago’s new semi-official Christmas/Holiday song was “Oh Come, Oh Come, Em[m]anuel”. That was too quick. After a couple of days further thought, let me suggest that Chicago’s new semi-official Christmas/Holiday song is “Oh Rahm, Oh Rahm, Emanuel”:
Oh Rahm, Oh Rahm, Emanuel
Help save Chicago from going to hell.
From union bosses robbing us blind
And teachers letting our kids get behind.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Has come to us, fifth floor of City Hall.O come, from the White House and free
Us from the Daley family tyranny.
We used to be the city on the lake.
Now we're just a city on the take.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Has come to us, fifth floor of City Hall.O come, thou Rahm, come and cheer
Our spirits by returning here.
Stop ward hacks selling zoning permits
And pols looking for money in their fists.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Has come to us, fifth floor of City Hall.O come, Rahm Emanuel, come
And live again in your own home.
No parking meter contracts for sale
Or airport deals for friends of the mayor.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emanuel
Has come to us, fifth floor of City Hall.
