LET'S MAKE A WAR TODAY
[tune: Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay]

[a] Let's make a war today!
I heard Don Rumsfeld say
Saddam will go away
We're sure to win the day.
 
[b] Donald Cheney does agree
Condy too, no mystery
We've got unanimity
It is plain for all to see.
 
[b] What if questions do arise
All about the wheres and whys?
Ashfield's sure to improvise
A plan in which our freedom dies.
 
[a] It is no mystery
It is such bliss to be
A man whose family tree
Marks me for history.
 
[b] Saddam Hussein's just a prize,
The real game is to militarize,
We'll cut nations down to size,
Just so we can marketize.

 
[b] Osama Bin is last year's punk,
Without Saddam we're in a funk
Our economy has really shrunk
And stocks have done a sink, sank, sunk.
 
[a] But now the headlines black
Are shouting out Iraq
Dem'crats are off the track
And corporate crime I back
 
[b] But if you should make a stink
I can send you to the clink
See, I made the UN blink.
Now my war is on the brink.
 
[b] So my empire's now at hand
I'm just feeling awfully grand
But if you should take a stand
The CIA is near at hand.
 
[a] So give up, walk away
The poor are here to stay
You want to have a say?
Shout USA hooray!
 
[b] And don't mind the little things
That my careful planning brings
War will cover all the stings
So forget your sufferings.
 
[b] Got no job, no health care or
Your sons and daughters off to war -
Don't know what they're fighting for?
Who cares aslong as profits soar.
 
[a] We ladies say to you,
Chen(ey), Rum and double U,
We plan to trouble you
We'll make you say 'boo hoo.'
 
[b] And when all the upper crust
Find out that they're going bust
You will find your power lust
Back down in the Texas dust.
 
[b] We may rage, we Grannies do
' That's 'cause we remember who
Make real change,oh it's so true
It's me and you and you and you.
 
[a] Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay
That's why we want to say
The truth will win the day
'Cause we're all here to stay!
