The Lyrics
There's war in Afghanastan,
Osama's in Pakistan.
Hey wake up Iran,
And you all other "Stans"
And Borat's from Kazakstan.
No round eye is in Japan,
And pound buys goods in England,
It's wrong say West Indish,
But can't beat the Finnish.
For walleye both fresh and canned.
Iraq has Fallujah,
Iran wants to nuke ya,
Bahrain gots its billionaires.
There's Pakis was Prussians,
Watch out for the Russians,
And Ninevan is nowhere.
Irish and Scotish have Mc's and Mac's,
Hands off Switzerland, war is banned.
From age old Moldavia,
To Saudi Arabia,
To down under New Zealand.
The crop died in Ireland,
They stopped by the New Found Land.
Potatos were finished,
So here grew them spinach,
Why nothing grows in Greenland?
The Polskis and Ruskys have Skis and Skys,
Ones "I" and ones "Y" its the plan.
There's third world Somalia,
And Czech and Slovakia,
And fin'ly Tajikistan.
Geography 101,
We hope it's been loads of fun.
It's hitish and missish,
There's no time to Finnish,
Geography class is done.
The Holidays can be depressing for many especially if grief is associated with the season.

Very good stuff. Quite an undertaking!I stumbled a couple of times on the pacing, but I don't recall ever hearing the full-length 12" LP version of the Popeye tune :P..... so I give you the benefit of the doubt and a 555
Fun stuff, Guy. I didn't understand the "There's Pakis was Prussians" line, but the last verse was outstanding.
You put funny on the map
KarK - I used a lyrics version that was of the early Popeye cartoons that went like this in the first verse:
I'm Popeye the sailor man
I'm Popeye the sailor man
I am what I am
And that's all what I am
I'm popeye the sailor man
I also remember these lyrics from Popeye cartoons when I was a lad. I may have thrown an extra verse or two in there as well. Thanks for your comment and gratuitous vote.
JJ - Prussia no longer exists as such. It was the old german empire.
.
Ref: h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussia.
.
Highlight: .The Kingdom of Prussia (1701-1918): formed the elevation of Brandenburg-Prussia to a kingdom, this state went on to become the dominant state of the German Empire (1871-1918); So I guess I'm simply stating that there are now Paki's and there were once Prussians, The two do not relate to each other. Sorry for the confusion. It was late last night and I was getting quite tired when I finished writing this.

PMS - "Funny on the map" - I like that - Funny must be some place between YUK-on and HA-waii. Thanks for your interest in my work.
I think the phrase "crash course" is appropriate here as it describes both this parody and the economical situation in those 'stans you're starting off with...
Guy - that's the bit I remember... what I don't remember is the "middle verse" from "...Iraq has Fallujah..." Ug ug ug! Poop Poop!
KarK - The OS is as such:
I'm one tough Gazookus
Which hates all Palookas
Wot ain't on the up and square.
I biffs 'em and buffs 'em
And always out roughs 'em
But none of 'em gets nowhere.
Here's a refresher from youtube. Listen to 3rd verse - sure to jog the memory:
