AWOL
(Sung to the tune "Who Wouldn't Love You?")

Bush, the deserter,
(He didn't show up)
Is "proud" that he "served"
Despite the mix-up.

No medical records?
Did he pee in the cup?
A positive test
And his jig was up.

They say he's stayed away
   from drugs since seventy-four,
But mandatory testing
   started two years before.

One year in absentia.
Three months to catch up.
Rejected by Texas
Because he'd messed up,
Poppy got him into Harvard,
   (chits can add up).
So why should he worry
Which end is up?
