The Day-o Song, v. 2001

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and you won't have a home
Day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and you won't have a home

We bomb all night, then reload our guns
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Drop bunkerbusters till by the deadly tons
Daylight come and you won't have a home

Come, Mr. Taliban, we're gonna finda Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Come, Mr. Taliban, we're gonna finda Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

It's six tons, seven tons, eight tons, CRUNCH!
Launch cruise missiles and we wipe out a bunch!
It's six tons, seven tons, eight tons, CRUNCH!
Drop cluster bombs and we wipe out a bunch!

Day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

You launched a first strike, that we admit
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
But we're a nation of heroes, so we'll never quit
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

A powerful squad a' young Marines
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Invade your lair like deadly machines
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

It's six tons, seven tons, eight tons, CRUNCH!
B-1 Bombers soar and we wipe out a bunch!
It's six tons, seven tons, eight tons, CRUNCH!
Hornets roar and we wipe out a bunch!

Day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

A stealthy team a' Navy SEALS
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Hide thee deadly killing steel
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Come,Mr. Taliban, we're gonna get Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Come, Mr. Taliban, we're gonna get Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

A powerful bunch a' Green Berets
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Rain deadly fire in your deep, dark caves
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Come,Mr. Taliban, we're gonna get Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Come, Mr. Taliban, we're gonna get Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

A well-trained squad of Army Rangers
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Blackhawks drop from the sky to spread deadly dangers
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Our forces are whites, blacks, reds, and browns
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
But we fight as one, when we destroy your towns
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

We're Christians, Hindus, Moslems, Jews, and all the rest
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
But we fight as one, when we torch your nests
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Your make women wear a burkha, under penalty of death
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Ours wear a helmet, you do the math
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Yes, it's true, from the cooks to the pilots, it's the whole damn crew!
Look out, Al Queda, we're coming after you....

So look around now, for it won't be the same
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
When B-52s send you back to that hell from where you came
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Not far away, British and U.S. subs lurk off shore
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
With Tomahawks loaded, to settle a score
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Yes, allied forces will send you back to the ground
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
If you crawl back up, we'll drop some more rounds
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Yo, Mr. Taliban, we'll get Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home
Yo, Mr. Taliban, we'll get Al Queda
Daylight come, and you won't have a home

Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you don't have a home
Day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day, we say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come, and you're all alone.

Yes it's true, from the gunners to the tankers, it's the whole damn crew!
Now, look out, Sadaam, 'cause we're coming after you....

Ala Randy, I went to the park and took some paper along, and that's where I wrote this song....

[sweetliberty]

Is there a download?

[bwteim]

Is there a download?

No, I just cobbled it together this morning. It's simple center, break, and paragraph tags. If I can figure out how to send you the code, I'll do so via your email.

Song Parody: "Hello Mullah, Hello Fatah (Camp Osama)"

Flash Version of another version of Day-O

bttt

[ResistorSister]

good job! bttt

[bwteim]

good job!! bttt.

Thanks, ResistorSister,
The Day-O song is not in same league as Charles Henderson's "Hello Mullah, Hello Fatah (Camp Osama)" --but, hey, I am just a fledgling FR contributor!

Thanks for mentioning my name! Now let's work on the spelling. :-)

As far as the "Day-O" song, the "Taliban-tallyman" similarity makes it a natural, doesn't it? There must be dozens of parody versions out there by now. A couple of weeks ago I too thought of the same idea, but by then there were already at least a couple around. But if I were to do one, it would probably go . . . something like this:

Payyy-back, pay-ay-ay-back!
Payback come and no place to go home.

Come, Mister Taliban, tally me bin Laden.
Payback come and no place to go home.

One bomb, two bomb, three bomb--DROP!
Payback come and no place to go home.

And so on.

[StoneColdGOP]

It never stops being funny!

To Charles Henricksen, I'm phonetically challenged.... sorry about that!

[Chieftain]

AWESOME song... I was 3 years late in reading it, but it is still AWESOME!

Thanks for your praise. The funny thing about rereading this post was that Charles Henrickson had posted his Song Parody: "Hello Mullah, Hello Fatah (Camp Osama)

It was then that I realized that I had not merely coined the same phrase Hello Mulla, Hello Fatwa, but actually had freely adapted, err, I mean ripped off Charles H when I posted the following to NCjim

Hello Mulla, Hello Fatwa, here I am with Miss Shabana.

as a result of a post by aculeus Mullah furious after defamatory stunt

But please don't think of yourself as being 3 years late in reading it, it is really just 2 years and 7 months, and I prefer to think of that as merely 2.6% of a century! :)
