Here's my take in song.


GUANTANAMO BAY
(words & tune by Barry Finn 2/24/06)

Guantanamo Bay, hey, I'm on my way.
I won't be coming back from there, not in many's a day.
Guantanamo Bay, am I here to stay?

CHORUS: Where the sun shines hard on the dogs in the yard
An' I'm here to say there's no place in the world like Guantanamo Bay

Let's all get naked, in Guantanamo Bay
Lie in the sand; put our tush in a Bush, where the nights are gay
Let's all get cute with the girls in the suits

It's hard to believe, that I made here
I'm a lazy do nothing, no good to no one, without a care
My luck's so fine, who could be so kind, to land me here in a spa so far from grit & the grime

I'm getting island fever, I can't handle the truth
I'm getting buggered all day, can't get from the 'Git', I'm so young I'm a youth
Where the akee & rice, & salt fish is nice

I'm dying here, I live in fear
I don't think I've done wrong, I just wrote me a song of a place so queer
This ain't what I thought, this ain't what I bought

I must be mad, I think I've just been had
I'm told I've got to go, that I don't know what they thought I knowed, it's bad
I've been MIA'd, by the CIA, I've been christen, I've been crossed, I've been kicked I've been tossed

To where the sun shines hard on the dogs in the yard
An I'm here to say there's no place in the world like Guantanamo Bay
