A Song for Saddam

The following is sung to the tune (more or less) of that John Lennon Christmas song that never goes away:

So this is Christmas,
And we're going to war.
Saddam's days are numbered,
He has maybe four.

Cause we sure don't need small pox,
And his nerve gas is bad,
Just forget about a-bombs!
(And also Baghdad).

Children's chorus:
War is over,
It's all over,
Or it will be,
Once he's hist'ry.

And so this is Christmas,
Peace was almost in reach.
But Saddam has a problem,
Called a "material breach."

And Hans Blix is stalling,
The U.N.'s afraid,
But they'll really feel safer,
After the next air raid.

children:
Saddam's lying,
Osama's hiding,
They will both learn,
Everyone gets a turn.

Now the bombs will start falling,
What a holiday treat!
He wanted weapons of mass destruction,
They'll be arriving next week!

So have a very merry Christmas!
And a happy New Year!
Uncle Sam's on the case now,
Soon there'll be no more fear.

children:
Planes are over
Saddam's palace,
War is over,
Real peace at last.

repeat.

If you call yourself "Irving the Magnificent," you can't be all bad.
