Thought this was kinda cute.

If You're Happy And You Know It Bomb Iraq

by John Robbins


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.

That's great. I may hunt down sheet music for it to distribute at the next peace function...

Variations on it have been doing the rounds on email groups for several months now, I think the earliest version I saw of the basic meme was October or November.

Dat meme done infected me though, here's a coda:

British Cabinet is servile, bomb Iraq.
House of Commons not consulted, bomb Iraq.
Saddam was armed by Western powers,
Can’t connect him to Twin Towers,
So, before the project sours,
Bomb Iraq.

Might is right is just the ticket, bomb Iraq.
If our interests are threatened, bomb Iraq.
Where to bomb next, North Korea?
Logic dictates that I fear,
The U.N.’s so last year,
Bomb Iraq.

I say we print it up and hand it out for 15.02.03. If we each bring a few hundred copies and try to get everyone singing it. Fucking hilarious.

Exactly what I was thinking.

"1, 2, 3, 4, we don't want your oil war!" gets hold after a while anyway.
