Christmas in Cambodia

[FreedomFirstForever]

Hi everyone,

I just now had time to finish this - enjoy ;-)

Christmas in Cambodia

(to the tune of Kim Wilde’s “Cambodia”)

---

Well John was Cam Rahn based

He was a Swift Boat guy,

PCF ninety-four

Back then in sixty-nine

But soon he got too bored

And he began to change

Was “Boston Strangler” now

His boss just thought him strange

-

But then he got a call

From Tricky Dick one night

He couldn’t tell his crew

He had to keep it tight

No camera gear to pack

To reenact this fight

He had to take a spook

Into Cambodia…

-

And as the years passed by

He tried to change the past

Lied of atrocities

Consorted with Miss Giap

I guess we’ll never know

What got inside his soul

For he just made things up

Betrayed his brothers all

And on the Senate floor

He spoke of Genghis Khan

Of braving guns and mines

To save ol’ Jim Rassman

And of that Christmas night

When he heard Nixon speak

And heard the ARVNs shoot

At him in Cambodia…

-

But then the truth came out

About his lucky hat

And all the Swift Boat vets

Now said “We’ve had enough of that”

-

So now his lies are known

And every single poll

Shows all the lead he had

Has disappeared out in the haze

-

(Cambodia – don’t lie now – no tears now)

-

But he will not retract

Even a single word

So there is only one thing left

We know for sure:

It was seared into his brain…

Just a few niggles

Kerry was based at Cat Lo, not Cam Rahn

His boat at the time was PCF=44 not 94.

Now I realize accuracy is not important, it's the seriousness of the chareges that demands an answer.

But the correct info scans equally well, so why not use it?
