The Chicago Young Republicans have made a video of their version of Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit song “Call Me Maybe” to use in recruiting volunteers.

I remember when I was a young Republican. I also remember when I could sit without groaning and eat pepperoni pizza at midnight and not get indigestion.

Ahh those were the days!

Here’s the video along with the lyrics.



I cast my vote in the booth,

Hoping and praying for truth

But Obama took it all

And now he’s in my way

I’d trade my soul for a job,

Pennies and dimes all I got

I never asked for all this

And now he’s in my way

Small business folding

Private sector isn’t growing

Give me back my country

Because we deserve victory

Hey, if you’re like me,

And going crazy,

The CYRs

We’re calling, baby

It’s hard to be right,

In Chicago,

But we’re all here

for a better tomorrow!

Hey, if you’re like me,

And going crazy,

The CYRs

We’re calling, baby

Just think how happy

No more balling

Obama lost

Cuz you went calling

Come to the office to call

It will take no time at all

We’ve got the tools that you need

So we can win this time

Obama lied to us all

Our country’s worse overall

You’re not alone if you feel

That he is in our way

Small business folding

Private sector isn’t growing

Give me back my country

Because we deserve victory

Hey, if you’re like me,

And going crazy,

The CYRs

We’re calling, baby

It’s hard to be right,

In Chicago,

But we’re all here

for a better tomorrow!

Hey, if you’re like me,

And going crazy,

The CYRs

We’re calling, baby

We’ll give you pizza

Plus some free beer

Why are you waiting?

Just get yourself here

Before you start to give up

We need you so bad

We need you so bad

We need you so, so bad

Before you start to give up

We need you so bad

And you should know that

We need you so, so bad

It’s hard to be right,

In Chicago,

But we’re all here

for a better tomorrow!

Hey, if you’re like me,

And going crazy,

The CYRs

We’re calling, baby

We’ll give you pizza

Plus some free beer

Why are you waiting?

Just get yourself here

Before you start to give up

We need you so bad

We need you so bad

We need you so, so bad

Before you start to give up

We need you so bad

And you should know that

So let’s make phone calls!
