If you're happy and you know it bomb Iraq
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 06:31 PM by m-jean03
I don't know, if this is darker than it is funny, but I found it very smart. I don't know who the author is. More at:

You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq
-------------------------------------
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are Saudi,
And your alibi is shoddy,
And your tastes remain quite gaudy,
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think that SUVs,
Are the best thing since sliced cheese,
And your father you must please,
Bomb Iraq.

If the globe is quickly warming, bomb Iraq.
If the poor will soon be storming, bomb Iraq.
We assert that might makes right,
Burning oil is a delight,
For the empire we will fight,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think that someone's 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.

If 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 now knows no borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We’ll call it treason,
It's the make war not love season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

4. Be careful if you start singing it
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 06:27 PM by m-jean03
Once you put it to melody it gets stuck in your head. Kind of painful, IMO, despite the cleverness.

3. Here is a similar one I saw several months ago......
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq. If the terrorists are frisky, Pakistanis 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. Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq. They've got weapons we can't see, And that's good enough for me 'Cos it's 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 sleezy, 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.

8. I posted that cute little song on a right wing site a few months ago...
and believe it or not, it wasn't very well received. Can you imagine, I was called a communist, socialist, etc, etc......I loved every minute of it....disrupting their bush love-in.

6. "I Want Iraq"
I was thinking last weekend that one could make up some entertaining lyrics to the tune of Twisted Sister's "I Want To Rock," only this time calling it "I Want Iraq!"

9. The version below was in The Funny Times
Planet Proctor section, by Phil Proctor, item titled "Follow the Bouncing Bomb" (and by the way, the tune is "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands," not "She'll be comin' round the mountain").

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq
If the markets hurt your mama, bomb Iraq
If the terrorists are Saudi,
And the bank takes back your Audi,
And the TV shows are bawdy - bomb Iraq.

If the corporate scandal's growing, bomb Iraq
And your ties to them are showing, bomb Iraq
If the smokin' gun ain't smokin',
We don't care, and we ain't jokin',
Ol' Saddam will soon be croakin' - bomb Iraq.

Even if we have no allies, bomb Iraq,
From the sand dunes to the valleys, bomb Iraq,
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions - bomb Iraq.

So here's one for good ol' daddy, bomb Iraq,
From his fav'rite little laddie, bomb Iraq,
Saying "No" would look like treason -
It's the Hussein hunting season!
Even though we've got no reason - bomb Iraq.

I've had that on my office door since June.
