Sing A-Long! If you're happy and you know it...

Boris Godunov · January 24, 2003, 11:20

Come on, kids! You all know the tune!

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me
'Cos it's all the proof I need
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
(And he tried to kill your dad),
Bomb Iraq.

If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

ROTFLMAO!

Possibly, you've outdone yourself in acting moronic.

A cite to the original source would be appreciated, Boris, lest these people think you actually wrote that tripe!

But I've yet to outdo you, so I'm still on safe ground!

JohnT: It was an e-mail forward, so have no idea who composed the little ditty.

How is it moronic? I find it quite amusing...and that's its only purpose.

Heard it - in my hillarious left-wing politics class.

Yep, that's a great song! I've seen a lot of other verses, though. Some of them are variations of what you've been sent, but anyway, here goes, in random order. Pick whichever you like best, and make your own version!

If we cannot find Osama, Bomb Iraq
If the markets hurt your Mama, Bomb Iraq
If the terrorists are Saudi
And the bank took back your Audi
And the TV shows are bawdy, Bomb Iraq.

If the corporate scandals growin', Bomb Iraq
And your ties to them are showin', Bomb Iraq
If the smoking gun ain't smokin'
We don't care, and we're not jokin'
That Saddam will soon be croakin', Bomb Iraq.

Even if we have no allies, Bomb Iraq
From the sand dunes to the valleys, Bomb Iraq
So to hell with the inspections
Let's look tough for the elections
Close your mind and take directions, Bomb Iraq.

Here's one for dear old daddy, Bomb Iraq
From his favorite little laddy, Bomb Iraq
Saying no would look like treason
It's the Hussein hunting season
Even if we have no reason, Bomb Iraq.

Anti-missile tests keep failing, Bomb Iraq
And the deficit is sailing, Bomb Iraq
"I'm too weak," you have been wailing,
To protect without curtailing
Basic freedoms. Need more jailing! Bomb Iraq!

Get the troops a' moving, Bomb Iraq
Poli-tricksters need more proving, Bomb Iraq
They don't send their own kids over
Now march to death, just follow orders
Need some gas for my Land Rover, Bomb Iraq.

Now there are those like John Ashcroft. Bomb Iraq.
Who think objectors are just soft. Bomb Iraq.
They say we're un-American
Who criticize our leader's plan
To pulverize our fellow man. Bomb Iraq.

We'll take Iran and maybe Syria. Bomb Iraq.
That's the plan; France we don't need ya. Bomb Iraq.
Our troops, they need some trainin'
For a North Korea invasion
Just because we are amazing. Bomb Iraq.

We have lots of Dexedrine now. Bomb Iraq.
Mix it up with MiG-19's, wow. Bomb Iraq.
Eleven empty warheads
Made in Baghdad or New Orleans?
Two hundred thousand orphans. Bomb Iraq.

Bush says, "Let's get our dues and bomb Iraq
"It'll get me in the news, so bomb Iraq
"While innocents I'm jailin'
"And the Anthrax is a-mailin'
"My approval rating's sailin', bomb Iraq!"

Tony Blair will help you do it - Bomb Iraq!
And together we'll go through it - Bomb Iraq!
When the friendly fire is falling,
Will our losses be appalling?
Never mind, cos George is calling - Bomb Iraq!

All the liberals are pansies, bomb Iraq!
We'll do whatever takes our fancy, bomb Iraq!
We will lead the world to freedom,
With our values we will feed'em,
They will follow, or we'll kill'em! Bomb Iraq!

Saddam is a mega-threat so Bomb Iraq!
George and Tony have agreed it is a fact.
Though the evidence is lacking
It won't stop them from attacking
Nevermind the people's backing, Bomb Iraq!

While the globe is slowly warming, bomb Iraq.
Yay! the clouds of war are storming, bomb Iraq.
If the ozone hole is growing,
Some things we prefer not knowing.
(Though our ignorance is showing), bomb Iraq.

Now we've found warheads a-plenty, bomb Iraq,
Even though they were all empty, bomb Iraq,
And we really do not care
If chemicals were ever there
Let's all follow Bush and Blair and bomb Iraq...
