Rumsfeld (sung to "Young Girl")
Satire about Bush's Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, now facing calls for his resignation by Congress and by the entire world for allowing and covering up the Abu Ghraib military prison torture scandal in Iraq

Rumsfeld
(Sung to the tune of "Young Girl" by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap)
Parody by Boot

(instrumental intro)

Rumsfeld... your job's on the line.
Now, all you do is evade and whine.
Hey, Mr. Rumsfeld...
Please resign, Rumsfeld.

What kind of harm in Iraq prisons
Did you keep secret - tortured youth?
Your lies, we don't believe.
We've had enough of you and Shrub.
This scandal hurts; you hid the truth...
So...

Rumsfeld... your job's on the line.
Now, all you do is evade and whine.
Hey, Mr. Rumsfeld...
Please resign, Rumsfeld.

Your firing now looms; big shake-up.
Crimes you enabled were disguised.
We know you knew,
And it was wrongfully, ignored with glee.
You and Bush Baby - soon, goodbye!
So...

Rumsfeld... your job's on the line.
Now, all you do is evade and whine.
Hey, Mr. Rumsfeld...
Please resign, Rumsfeld.

(instrumental break)

They ask at home, "Where's Osama?"
You sure have blundered, with your czar.
Get out of here, because you're out of time
To hide war crime.
The mess you've made has gone too far.
So...

Rumsfeld... your job's on the line.
Now, all you do is evade and whine.
Hey, Mr. Rumsfeld...
Please resign, Rumsfeld.

(repeat chorus and fade)

3. We Have This Thing Called "8-Track Tapes" That "PRESERVES" Songs
for BILLIONS of others to listen to later. :-)

Get thee to a radio or CD or hi-fi and listen to all types of music.

-- Allen <--- Also too young to have heard Mozart... yet still he managed to hear a "re-cord-ing" of it.
