Boots On The Ground

Boots on the Ground
Boots on the Ground
Lookin’ like a fool
With your Boots on the Ground
With the gold in your mouth

Boots hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat
With your Boots on the ground
Walkin’ downtown with your Boots on the ground!

Hey! Get your Boots off the ground!
Lookin like a fool!
Walkin’ talkin’ with your Boots on the ground!

Lookin’ like a fool
With your Boots on the Ground
With the gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways
Call yourself a cool cat
Boots on the ground!

I guess Obama doesn’t know his history and how the Spanish flu went pandemic.
If they make inroads into Baghdad that's very bad news.
Or, he/Val do know history, and are planning on it.
If Oblowfly is in charge - rest assured the caliphate is a reality for the next clueless idiot to confront.
