There lived a bearded man in afghanistan long ago
He was six foot four and his beard was white as snow
Most people looked at him with terror and with fear
But to afghan hicks he was a mighty leader
He could spew islamic prattle like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was a terrorist teacher American leaders once desired

Be Be Ben laden
Butcher of the afghan scene
There was a cat whose mind was gone
Be Be Ben laden
Meanest man in afghanistan
It was a shame how he carried on

He ruled Afghanistan but never drove a car
The camel that he rode got him really far
In al quaida affairs he was the man to please
But he was really greatest when his kidneys weren't diseased
For the time being he was a wheeler dealer
We've all heard of things he's done
He believed he was a holy see er
Who was 17th of 52 sons

Be Be Ben Laden
Butcher of the afghan scene
There was a cat whose mind was gone
Be Be Ben Laden
Meanest man in afghanistan
It was a shame how he carried on

But when his killings and his hunger for real power
Became known to more and more people
The demand to do something about this outrageous man grew louder and louder

This mans got to go declared his enemies
And they were begged do it do it please
No doubt Ben laden had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute he only cut off legs and arms
Then one night some men from the alliance
Set up a trap like a moth to a flame
They kept demanding come down and join us
But ben laden never came

Be Be Ben Laden
Butcher of the afghan scene
They put poison in his wine
Be Be Ben Laden
Butcher of the afghan scene
He drank it up and said it was fine

Be Be Ben Laden
Butcher of the afghan scene
They wouldn't quit they wanted his head
Be Be Ben Laden
Meanest man in afghanistan
They'd keep bombing him until he was dead

Oh those afghans
