Fish Cheer Revisited

Apologies where needed. From Comments. Not bad at all.

The Rumsfeld Rag (With apologies to Country Joe)

Well come on, all of you big strong men,
Uncle Sam's telling lies again,
Figured out that to fight a war
All you have to do is send the poor.
While Georgie and his buddies laugh and feast
They'll send you to the Middle East.

And it's one, two, three, what were you voting for?
Oil profits and endless war?
Did you think there was something more?
And it’s five, six, seven, let the theme reverberate:
“Muslims, gays, and liberal states,
Whoopee! We got lots to hate.”

Come conservatives throughout the land,
Now’s the time to take a stand,
Get it into liberal weenies’ heads
That the only good Iraqi is one who’s dead.
Raze their cities, destroy their lives
And convert ‘em all to Jesus Christ.

And it’s one, two, three, who were you voting for?
One deserter and a chickenhawk?
Who else could win Iraq?
And it’s five, six, seven, let the theme reverberate:
“Muslims, gays, and liberal states,
Whoopee! We got lots to hate.”

On 9/11 the country changed
And some of us became quite deranged.
With fears abounding from out and in
We launched a crusade to battle sin.
We all see something’s going wrong,
It’s about the time to drop a bomb.

And it’s one, two, three, what were you voting for?
Don’t you see or don’t you give a damn
‘Bout the lessons of Vietnam?
And it’s five, six, seven, let the theme reverberate:
“Muslims, gays, and liberal states,
Whoopee! We got lots to hate.”

That was very nice of you. Thanks!

(Can't help but notice the eerie similarities in your name, Jo Fish, to the authors of the original ditty, Country Joe and the Fish.)

The fish cheer went like this,
Gimme an "F"
Gimme a "U"
Gimme a "C"
Gimme a "K"
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
What's that spell?

That's why it was called a "cheer". Get it?

I like it!

Motherlode, here's one for you to think about....I was reading a Christmas thread over at dKos about $1500 massage chairs, and I thought of a few new words to a Janice Joplin song:

Oh Lord, won't you buy me
A Hummer SUV
My neighbor, the day trader,
Just got one, you see....

But that's as far as I got.
