Lyr Add: song challenge re Dubbya

Subject: Lyr Add: song challenge re Dubbya
From: paddymac

There seem to be a number of songs coming out about "Dubbya". I laughed till I cried when I heard "And Clinton Got A Blow Job." I started working on one using the melody to "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean," and the folk-standard song "My God How The Money Rolls In." Then I realized the the word-wizards here at the 'cat could have some fun with it, and thought maybe we could collective create somthing that lost of folks would enjoy performing. I got howls of laughter with these three verses last week. So, here are the verses I've started with. Please feel free to add to the cause.

Now Dubbya has got us in two wars,
        And that's just as certain as sin,
But if your name is Hall-i-bur-ton,
        My god how the money rolls in.

But if your name's not Hall-i-bur-ton,
        You still can go 'round with a grin.
Just work for an-y Belt-way Ban-dit,
        My god how the money rolls in.

And let's not forget the taxpayers,
        They too have got reason for hope,
For Dubbya's got only two years left,
        And then we'll be rid of the ____.

Spoken: "There must be some other word that rhymes w/hope."
