Angels To Bush *
Sung to the Ziggy Elman tune
"And The Angels Sing"

Kids cry, so the angels sing,
And sing a song he'll wish he'd never heard.
"Bad try," are the words they sing,
"But the war you started jeopardized Big Bird.

"Now you'll pay!
Children shortchanged –
Parents are mad and their kids are screaming -
Little shavers missing friends that they adore.
"Now you'll pay!
Your zealots deranged –
Claiming Big Bird has been blaspheming
And not supportive of your religious war.

"You try," is what the angels sing,
"To stop their show and natur'lly they tell."
"Good-bye," all the angels sing,
"You and Cheney will go straight to Hell!"
