This song is written and performed by Roy Zimmerman...here are the lyrics, video is to your right:

Superdelegate

Won't you supersede my decision

Ooo, Superdelegate

I need your...super...vision



I can't be trusted

To choose my own nominee

Democracy is just too important

To leave it to people like me



So gimme my election

'Cause it feels good to check that box

And when you determine how it should have turned out

I'll be right here sucking rocks

'Cause only when the ballots have all been collected

Can they be corrected



Superdelegate

Won't you supersede my decision

Ooo, Superdelegate

I need your...super...vision

When your vote is counted

It's like ten thousand to my one

It's good to know that my representative

Has such representation

So, do someone a favor

'Cause you know they'll remember that

You scratch their back and they'll scratch yours

It's his or her tit for your tat



The Democratic Party is too democratic

'Cause Democrats so erratic



Nineteen-Seventy-Two

The nominee was chosen by the people

And that nominee

Was George McGovern

Ooo



Nineteen-Seventy-Six

The nominee was chosen by the people

And that nominee

Was Jimmy Carter


Ooo



But Nineteen-Eighty-Four

The nominee was chosen by the Superdelegates

And that nominee

Was Walter Mondale!



Superdelegate

Won't you supersede my decision

Ooo, Superdelegate

I need your...super...imposition


Ooo
