The Lyrics

Came up with this a year ago after o.d.-ing on NPR war news.
1. On the first day of airstrikes, Don Rumsfeld said to me;
Bin Laden might just go free!
2. On the second day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
3. On the third day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
4. On the fourth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
5. On the fifth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
6. On the sixth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Oh, No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
7. On the seventh day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Let's fire Janet Reno!
Oh,No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
8. On the eighth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
(Spoken):"In these uncertain times when we don't know whether we'll be interrupted on-air by breaking news events, it might be a good idea for listeners to send in your pledges to your local Public Radio station befor our regular pledge drive. Like, maybe, now!"
(Sung): Let's fire Janet Reno!
Oh, No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
9. On the ninth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Hey, let's bring back War Bonds!
Make your pledge real early!
Let's fire Janet Reno!
Oh, No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
10. On the tenth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Let's cancel Halloween!
Hey, let's bring back War Bonds!
Make your pledge real early!
Let's fire Janet Reno!
Oh, No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
11. On the eleventh day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
See my U.S.A. tattoo?
Let's cancel Halloween!
Hey, let's bring back War Bonds!
Make your pledge real early!
Let's fire Janet Reno!
Oh, No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
12. On the twelfth day of airstrikes, somebody said to me;
Who's this "Oh-Jay-Simpson?"
See my U.S.A. tattoo?
Let's cancel Halloween!
Hey, let's bring back War Bonds!
Make your pledge real early!
Let's fire Janet Reno!
Oh, No! Muslims run gas stations!
Thank God for Bush!
It's all Bill Clinton's fault!
Wanna buy a flag?
Your mail might not be safe!
And Bin Laden might just go free!
