The Goober Man

Performed by Craig Moore
Recorded 1976
Written by Alvis Howard and Jay B. Frederick

From way down yonder in the peanut land
Comes brother Carter with his goober plan
Wants to make himself head goober for the next four years
Got a goober plan to erase all of our fears
Well some folks say the goober plan's a joke
The press even says it makes them choke
But down in Georgia, in his own home state
The goobers know what he has done and they all think he's great

[chorus]
Goober, goober, vote for the goober man
Let him wear the pants, give him the chance to show the goober plan

The goober man is makin' it perfectly clear
He wants to be elected in November of this year
So vote for the man with the goober plan
He'll solve our frets and woes
All the way from Cuber [Cuba] to the ghettos
His plan will help us keep our hard-earned cash
And who knows? We might be drivin'
Our cars on goober gas
So plant a peanut smile upon your face
And America, let's all join in the goober race

[repeat chorus]

The White House just ain't been the same
Since they got rid of Tricky Dick
Yeah, and ol' what's-his-name
But come inauguration day in '77
Washington's gonna be a goober heaven

[repeat chorus]
