Anxious To Help
Being sung by Bushie to Duke Ellington's
"Don't Get Around Much Anymore"
(Missed the Saturday dance. Heard they crowded the floor.)

Verse
If I'd been playing solitaire
At home entertaining myself,
Israel wouldn't stand a prayer
Of fighting this war by itself.

Chorus
Missed a wonderful chance
For a quick little war.
Would have joined the Israelis,
Maybe blood but no gore.

Gave Ms. Merkel a rub
Till she showed me the door,
But by then the Israelis
Said, "Bug off, it's our war."

Can they have seen
How I've failed Iraq?
How Lieberman's keen
On never pulling back?

Condi's setting up dates,
But just talking's a bore
When it's all about evil
And that's what Cheney's looking for.
