TATERS AND BACON

Take down Saddam like a sack of taters
Pay no attention to screamers and traitors
Anti-Americans useful idiots and Bush-haters
Finish the job started by the Crusaders

Now the Big Dog’s wakin
In fear of Uncle Sam Saddam's shakin
He says he’s WMD-free but he’s fakin
Bomb the sucker and make him eat bacon

Who says we shouldn't go to war?
What else do we have the Army for?
Or the Air Force, the Navy and the brave Marine Corps?
Like Normandy in forty-four

On to Baghdad! And when we get there
And dig Saddam out of his lair
And lay his atrocities bare
And feed shelter and heal all his poor victims, where

Will the antiwar poets have to jump
When America will have played its trump?
The world will thank us all but a rump
Oil at twenty a barrel gas a buck at the pump
