Thread Name: Song Challenge: Bush
Subject: Song Challenge: George Bush
Couldn't find the earlier Bush songs thread, so I'm starting this. Not much of a song writer but I see a need. Huge need.

FOR SONG WRITERS ONLY PLEASE---NOT FOR CRITICS. Critics save your vitriol; go to some other thread.

Asking for songs about the the President. Funny, sad, angry, silly, you name it, the more the merrier. Here is a modest first effort, just to get the ball rolling.
It makes use of one of the better known mondegreens (i.e., the title phrase is not original with me).

I'm not real satisfied with it so if you can suggest better lines, new verses, etc. feel free.

BABOON RISING
Tune: "Bad Moon Rising" John Fogerty/Creedence Clearwater Revival

I see a baboon rising
I see horrors every day
I see Bush in the White House
Bringing death in every way.

CHORUS
Don't go out tonight,
Well, he's bound to take your life
There's a baboon on the rise. (x2)

He's got bombs a-blowing,
He's just mad for rage and ruin,
He's got bad secrets past all knowing,
You better look at what he's doin'.

Hope we live through this four years,
And can undo the damage he has done,
Looks like we're in for a lot more years,
Before this country lays down the gun.

And above all, please submit your own George Bush songs. Maybe we'll get lucky and one will be good enough to break out and do him some damage in return.
