Is that a sniper at your back?
Hey, it's no problem--bomb Iraq!
Is your money running low,
think you've lost your business knack?
Is your spouse about to go?
Not a problem--bomb Iraq!
IRA's are out the door?
Business scandals make you slack?
Know the drill, but not the score?
No problema--bomb Iraq!
Osama scare you? Anthrax? Crack?
Hanging chads? The kid next door?
Do you think I out-gored Gore?
Problem, shmoblem--bomb Iraq!
Could you use a lot more oil
for your SUV out back?
Air pollution make you boil?
Do like DaDa--bomb Iraq!
Think two plus two is always four?
Think me grammar somethink lack?
Well, thing again, and listen, Mac,
when in doubt--just bomb Iraq!
