He wanted a resume...a swift boat was okay
He took his camera and typewriter, too
His plan was shown...now it is well known
After only four months, he wants to go home
He needed a Purple Heart...so he's playing it smart
He is the one who wrote phony reports
His plan was shown...now it is well known...oh yeah
After only four months, he wants to go home
About that Silver Star...there's questions, oh yes, there are
He is a man who does not have honor at all
His plan was shown...now it is very well known...oh yeah
After only four months, he wants to go home
As we watch his campaign bomb...he says "I was in Nam"
That proves he can be commander in chief
His plan was shown...now it is well known
After only four months, he wants to go home
He launched a vicious attack...and stabbed comrades in the back
And now he acts like it never happened at all
His plan was shown...now it is very well known...oh yeah
After only four months, he wants to go home
As we watch his campaign bomb...he says "I was in Nam"
That proves he can be commander in chief
His plan was shown...now it is well known
Per your request
Wouldn't it be the "Sloop John K"

Navy Challenging Kerry's Medals
The United States Navy is challenging the authenticity of Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam War medals, in a development that could prove to be the most damaging yet to the embattled Democrat's presidential campaign.
A Navy spokesman is calling Kerry's Silver Star citation with Combat V "incorrect" as it appears on his campaign Web site, explaining in an interview with Chicago Sun-Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb that the Navy has never issued a Combat V at any time for the Silver Star
The Navy also is questioning the listing on Kerry’s Web site of four bronze campaign stars for his service in Vietnam. The official naval record credits Kerry with just two Vietnam campaigns.
"That is sufficient for the wearing of the Vietnam Service Medal for one campaign bearing one campaign star for the additional campaign — not four," reports Lipscomb in today's New York Sun.
Kerry's campaign has repeatedly cited the Navy as the ultimate authority on the candidate's war record, saying the Navy wouldn't have awarded him medals he didn't deserve.
But with the Navy now publicly challenging Kerry's decorations, that defense has been rendered inoperative.
Noting that Kerry has refused to authorize the release of his full military records, the legal watchdog group Judicial Watch called on Kerry this week to remove any questionable citations from his Web site pending a formal investigation by the Navy.
"It is to your best interest to have your record in good order," Gen. Thomas Wilkerson, the president of the U.S. Naval Institute, told Lipscomb. "If it is wrong, you are accountable. And if you use it to advance your career, it is even more important.”
I guess it would.
A John by any other name still stinks.
All right....:o)
