FEARS OF A COWARD
Tune: "Tears of a Clown"
Al-Sadr is miles out of place
But he wants to assure the Shiites
That when it comes down to Mookie's trip
Now listen he's only gone to see sights
But don't let his brief excursion
Lead you to think he's Persian
When there's an attack
Al-Sadr will act
He's gone but he's comin' right back
Never mind just how quickly he packed
Now there's some sandbags in Iran
That's where Mookie al-Sadr ran
The fears of a coward
When the surge is empowered
Now if he appears to run and flee
It's only to get back that much sooner
No fear of a surge could make him fly
That bit about bombs is an ugly rumor
So don't think just 'cause he's missing
That he's a great big sissy
He needed to go
Al-Sadr said so
He's gone but he wants you to know
That the virgins will surge when you blow
Now there's some sandbags in Iran
That's where Mookie al-Sadr ran
The fears of a coward
When the surge is empowered
Just like Osama did
He tries to keep his presence hid
Heroic in the Muslim world
But in a little ball he's curled
The fears of a coward
When the surge is empowered
{Fade out}
Al-Sadr is miles out of place
Don't let his brief excursion
Lead you to think he's Persian
Don't let this trip he's made
Make you think that he's afraid
When really he's brave
He laughs at the grave . . .
Charles, you are the master.
To me, Mookie is the Shiite version of Monty Python's Brave Sir Robin.
Brave Al Mookie ran away
He bravely ran away, away
He bravely ran away
Mookie Mookie:
Mookie Mookie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Mookie Mookie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Fine little JDAM waits for me
Catch a camel got to flee
Hiding in Qom, all alone
Never know if I make it home
Mookie Mookie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Mookie Mookie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Three nights and days hide in fear
Think of martyrs, constantly
In my hole, seek me there
I have spiders in my hair.
Mookie Mookie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Mookie Mookie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!
See Iran, the moon above
It won't be long, I be back
Take up my arms again
Tell Maliki I'll never leave again
Mookie Mookie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Mookie Mookie, oh baby
Me gotta go
Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!
