just last year we took a little trip
rose up on the waters of the Mighty Mississip
we saw a little flooding and we all know what that means
overflowing levees in the Town of New Orleans

we dropped sand bags and the water kept a comin
piled em up so high, but the current never slowed
then those boys from FEMA was a comin'
told our little president, that everythings a go

we looked at the radar and we seen the storm to come
'nuff to fill the mardi gras and wash out all the slums
tried to send in troops just to keep a little calm
looked like the aftermath of a trillion water bombs

we dropped sand bags and the water kept a comin
piled em up so high, but the current never slowed
then those boys from FEMA was a comin'
told our little president, that everythings a go

Mayor nagin said he was taken by surprise
lied about co-ordination, blamed those other guys
the governor was shreikin it was Bush you should give hell
ordered all the schooly buses kept them parked there well

the flooding came through tires, and the place became a shambles
and they filled all the tunnels where the rabbits used to go
it came so fast even rafts were sinking faster
damn the bloody rain, and the gulf of mexico

we fixed all the levees and the water came back down
we'd already moved to texas, and our population's down
we filled their heads with help out cheques and more would come behind
Dubya was payin, so the people didn't mind

the flooding came through tires, and the place became a shambles
and they filled all the tunnels where the rabbits used to go
it came so fast even rafts were sinking faster
damn the bloody rain, and the gulf of mexico
