We voted out his poppy
   who had a diff'rent goal
Than photographing Saddam
   when they found him in a hole,
Than being photographed himself
   after his accomplished mission,
Instead of concentrating on
   his knittin' and his fishin'.

His poppy said he wanted peace;
   we knew he wanted oil.
Junior said he wanted war;
   object and we're disloyal.
His poppy said no taxes;
   that we should read his lips…
Junior's biggest tax breaks?
   For folks who leave the biggest tips…

His poppy knew enough to get out
   while the getting's good.
Junior says he won't get out
   till Jesus says he should.
Is Junior wearing earplugs?
   Why can't he understand?
It would seem, with his approach,
   that Allah holds the upper hand.
