Thinking About Iraq *
Sung to the tune "I Thought About You"

I tie a string 'round my thumb
So that I can try to.
I don't enjoy looking dumb
Yet I always seem to

Promise the stars with side trips to Mars –
An old pipe dream –
Or a new tune like a town on the moon,
But with my team,
A lousy scheme.

I tie a string 'round my toe
So that I'll attempt to
Remember to show
I know I'm supposed to.

But do I look back
And think of Iraq
The way Karen tells me to?

Well, if it were you,
Why would you want to?
