Lyr Add: Send in Marines

With appologies to Stephen Sondheim: Send In The Clowns

Send in the Marines.

Aint sand a bitch, we are at war
Grunts here at last on the ground
SAS in mid air.
Send in the marines.

Isn't it bliss, dont you approve?
tanks who keep tearing around
The Iraqis can't move.
Where are the marines
Send in the marines

Just when I'd stopped kicking in doors,
finally blowing the one that was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual grenade
Sure of my guns
But Saddam was not there.

Dont you hate Scuds?
My side I fear,
I thought that you'd hit what I hit,
but we mised, oh dear.
But where are the marines
there ought to be marines
quick send in the marines

What a surprise!
who could forsee
I'd come to kill you
and hoped you'd miss me
Our marines come late by sea
and you are being shot up by me
What a surprise
I want a relief

Isn't life rich, drinking some beer
getting supplied now at rest in the rear
And where are the marines
Quick send in the marines
Don't bother there here......

I like it. Do you know Tom Lehrer's "Send the Marines"?
