Oh, say can you see,
Why Beyonce's not right
As so loudly she wailed
On Obama's show, gleaming

All the measures and bars
Of her song that took flight,
While the millions would watch,
Was a record just beaming..

All a prefix of flair,
That came blasting out there
Big goof on that night,
Like some amateur fare..

A phony performance..
Was all that she ga-a-ave
Should've said, "Damn the risk!"
Shown the world she was brave..


Kelly Clarkson sang live,
And James Taylor, as well
Both were honest and real
Leaned on no untrue poses..

Down in time, this must stand
Her grand moment to post
Like a forever bell..
Or some bible pressed roses

How revered will it seem
Such charade of a dream
Filed In hist'ry's archives
A recorded scheme..

Just a Star Bungled Banner's
What Beyonce' ga-a-ave
Should've said, "Damn the risk!"
Shown the world she...was...brave
