BOMB IRAQ
To the tune "If you're happy and you know it"

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.
Dubya's personal obsession, Bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me
'Cos it'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.

If you're running out of oil, Bomb Iraq
Weapons sales gone off the boil? – Bomb Iraq!
If the corporate agenda
Says you've got to be a spender
But the dollar's on a bender Bomb Iraq!

If you've got a tiny penis Bomb Iraq
Go on, prove you're not a genius - Bomb Iraq
Silence any desperate prayer that
you may have a brain up there
Make the ex-free world despair Bomb Iraq!

Taste the blood of little children: Bomb Iraq
Pay your Yankee kids to kill 'em: Bomb Iraq
If your bombs were really smarter
They'd lock onto you for starters
And avert your planned disaster Bomb Iraq

Guarantee your place in Hell: Bomb Iraq
Take your White House staff as well – Bomb Iraq
Dick Chaney just ain't nice
Nor is Condoleeza Rice
And it's Rumsfeld's bad advice to Bomb Iraq

If you're still in any doubt Bomb Iraq
Though the people all want out, Bomb Iraq
We're all gi-ving our best shot to                  *
Urge you seriously not to
Even if you feel you've got to Bomb Iraq



* This line is tricky if you don't get the emphasis right: "We're all" is two short (unstressed) syllables, and the first syllable of "gi-ving" is stressed. The next stress, and change of pitch, falls on "shot". The last three lines all flow together without any pause between.

Cheers K
