Let's Nuke Iraq

 

Let's nuke Iraq

And turn the flowing sands

To sheets of glist'ning glass

And send a team

To drill some holes

And suck out all the oil and gas

So all the nation's rich Can power up their SUV's

While Vegas burns a barrel every second

For city of lights and sleaze

Let us fry Saddam

And smelt his twelve old angry cousins

Sitting in that vat of desert oil

Iraqi Baker's Dozen

Insert our troops

Into the throbbing heat

Sheathed in petroleum

And promise to pull them out

Before the first shot

Fires from pounding gun

Let's go to war

So George and Jeb and George Can sleep at night

Counting sheep

And shearing snow-white wool

To pull upon our eyes
