Iraqnam Rag - One More Time! "It's 1-2-3, It's OIL we're fightin' for!"

To the Tune of "Fixin To Die in Vietnam Rag" by Country Joe

Give me an O
Give me an I
Give me an L
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
What's that spell?

OIL! OIL! OIIIIIILLL!!!

Well, come on all you real young men
That son of a Bush needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrorist jam
Way over yonder in Iraqnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun!

And it's one, two, three --
It’s OIL we’re fighting for!
That’s why we have to kill Saddam,
Next stop is Iraqnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well the media don’t wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

If you don’t know, here’s the PNAC Plan:
Lose Osama in Afghanistan,
Then take over in Iraqnam
You we need the gas for our mini-vans.
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan,
There you got the PNAC Plan!

And it's one, two, three --
It’s OIL we’re fighting for!
That’s why we have to kill Saddam,
Next stop is Iraqnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well the media don’t wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on PNAC, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Our need for oil's just increased,
I hear they got some in the Middle East.
We’re gonna make sure, it’s for certain
The world’s safe for Halliburton!

And it's one, two, three --
It’s OIL we’re fighting for!
That’s why we have to kill Saddam,
Next stop is Iraqnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well the media don’t wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well come on soccer moms throughout the land,
Pack your kids off to Iraqnam!
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send your kids off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your kid come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three --
It’s OIL we’re fighting for!
That’s why we have to kill Saddam,
Next stop is Iraqnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well the media don’t wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Come on now people! There’s something like 41,878 of you out there and if you really want to end this war you’re going to have sing louder than that! Are you ready?

And it's one, two, three,
It’s OIL we’re fighting for!
That’s why we have to kill Saddam,
Next stop is Iraqnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well the media don’t wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die!!

BUSH '04 = DRAFT '05

to be a leader= Cheerleader!
