Subject: If you're happy and you know it...
Songs seem to materialize when folks get pissed off at something. This one's been happening spontaneously all across the US.
Someone noticed that "clap your hands" and "bomb Iraq" have the same number of syllables. The rest is history. Here are some of the verses that have come to my e-mail; only some because more arrive every now and then.
From Rochester, NY... If you can't take out Osama bomb Iraq, (2x) If you can't take out Osama nuke a starving Baghdad mama, If you can't take out Osama bomb Iraq.
If your manhood seems uncertain bomb Iraq, (2x) If your manhood seems uncertain and there's no more Iron Curtain, If your manhood seems uncertain bomb Iraq.
From our dinner table in Davis, CA... Be the king of the world... murder Muslim boys and girls
If the stock market's tanking... send some yanks in tanks a'clanking
The generals all wanna... use their missiles guns and bombas
If you're falling in the polls... and you want to take control
If the stock market's falling... and the ecomony's appalling
If you want to sell more oil... send our boys to foreign soil
If you want to sell more gas... and kick Iraqi ass
You couldn't catch Osama... so send in the bombers
Your election was a farce... but now you'll kick Iraqi arse
You get the idea. I'm leaving it up to you to keep it going and post whatever you come up with. I'll add more as I get 'em.
