The Lyrics

Chilly Willy was out a job,
Though he looked, and he looked real hard;
Blame it on the economy, and trade-markets that are free.
His girl friend by the name of Jane, said,
"To the military, Will, let's go."
Then Willy started to fret and pout, and to her I heard him shout:

Chorus:
If we go in the Army, should we join the Marines,
While George W. Bush is Commander in Chief,
To Baghdad we'll go to be someone's relief.
Then we'll shoot, shoot, shoot down Iraqi's,
Preemption is how they explain
Why we kill, kill, kill first, and then look for evidence

Chilly Willy was sure no fool, he knew that it was all about fuel.
Told of weapons yet to be found; only Hussein was in the ground.
Then he showed her the dope on Bush, that he'd been AWOL from his troops,
Willy knew just what she needed to hear, to make his point very clear:

If we go in the Army, should we join the Marines,
While George W. Bush is Commander in Chief,
To Baghdad we'll go to be someone's relief.
Then we'll shoot, shoot, shoot down Iraqi's,
Preemption is how they explain
Why we kill, kill, kill first, and then look for evidence!

Chilly Willy had one more thing, had to tell her of Bush's sin,
That he claims the word came from God, to go and Baghdad bomb.
Since nine-eleven that's all he claims, the terror we fight comes from Saddam Hussein,
Justifying Iraqi deaths galore, while Halliburton really scores.

If we go in the Army, should we join the Marines,
While George W. Bush is Commander in Chief,
To Baghdad we'll go to be someone's relief.
Then we'll shoot, shoot, shoot down Iraqi's,
Preemption is how they explain
Why we kill, kill, kill first, and then look for evidence!
Although I wrote this one in December 2003 it still applies to what is taking place today... perhaps even more so.
