Just got this in an email from a friend, and I thought I'd post it here:
I FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO DIE RAG, TAKE TWO
Well, come on, all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's decided to attack
Some guy with a mustache in Iraq.
So put down your books and pick up a gun -
We're gonna have a whole load of fun.
[Chorus]
And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn;
We're gonna hit Saddam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up them pearly gates.
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why -
Whoopee! We're all gonna die.
Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Hear your President's injunction:
Free the world from mass destruction.
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.
Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
This war's your chance to go-go-go.
There's plenty of good money to be made
By supplying the army with the tools of the trade.
And pray, as the body-count grows higher,
That it's not all from friendly fire.
Well, come on mothers throughout the land
And send your sons to fight Saddam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.
Well, come on, Britain, join the fun -
You're Decoy Airstrip Number One.
Don't be cautious, don't hold back,
Join us out there in Iraq.
Remember how we supported you
In '17 and '42!
