The Iraqi Voter
(Sung to the Harold Arlen tune "Over The Rainbow")

Somewhere there's an Iraqi
Who would vote
For someone that he'd heard of
Before they destroyed his remote.

Someday that same Iraqi –
Can't say who,
Or they'll blow him to pieces,
Prob'ly his family, too –

Someday he'll say whose name it was
He wrote in over one he wasn't pleased with
Relying on someone with clout
Not to throw his write-in out
And substitute the one he's so displeased with.

Freedom, that's what he longed for
Even then,
When he voted for Kerry
Dreaming of what might have been.

If Iraqis who are dying
Manage to send Junior flying,
Why, oh why, can't I?
