Bush's Love For Baghdad
(Sung to the tune "I Love Paris")

I loved Baghdad when they loved me.
Not as much now that they don't.
I loved the Baghdad that my Poppy helped to arm.
Too bad that Baghdad now thinks it's Vietnam.

I love Baghdad when they're looting
Vindicating Halliburton's goal.
I love Baghdad as long as there's no shooting.
Must mean that Rummy's on a roll.

I might like Sudan much better.
Better than Iran though both are hot.
But Cheney'd skip Sudan; he says forget 'er.
Because Iran's got oil Sudan has not.

I love Baghdad when it's quiet
And not rioting a lot.
I say that I love Baghdad –
Why, oh, why do I love Baghdad?
Do I love it? Much more than I ought.
