Billionaires for Bush's War Songs

THE BILLIONAIRE SHUFFLE to the tune of The Hokey Pokey
By Mya Cash and Richard Anyou, NYC Billionaires for Bush’s War 
(aka, Jennifer L. Pozner and Emily Wilson)

You send some ground troops in,
and then you let them loose.
You send some ground troops in
and you shake your rich caboose.
You do the corporate shuffle
as the bombs begin to fall.
It’s all about the oil! Hey!

We make smart bombs and tanks.
We make mini-nukes, too.
We make cluster bombs and ammo,
and we’ll sell it all to you.
We do the corporate shuffle
as the bombs begin to fall.
It’s all about the oil! Hey!

We bought Bush and Dick.
We bought Condi, too.
We’ve got Congress in our pockets 
and we tell ‘em what to do.
We do the corporate shuffle
as the bombs begin to fall.
It’s all about the oil! Hey!

YOU… put… your… taxes in.
You watch your paycheck shrink.
You do some patriotic shopping,
but be careful not to think.
You do the corporate shuffle
as the bombs begin to fall.
It’s all about the oil! Hey!

THE ITCHING TO STRIKE RAG
Sung to the tune of The Fixing To Die Rag, by Country Joe & the Fish
By Mya Cash and Richard Anyou, NYC Billionaires for Bush’s War 
(aka, Jennifer L. Pozner and Emily Wilson)

Come on all you rich white men
Uncle Sam needs your weapons again
We’ve got ourselves in a wonderful fight
With any luck we’ll start bombing tonight
So, cook all your books
And sell all your guns
We’re gonna have a whole lotta fun.

CHORUS:
And it’s 1, 2, 3 –
We know what we’re fighting for
A rise in our Ratheon stocks
Each time that we strike Iraq
And it’s 5, 6, 7 
No need to investigate
The media don’t wonder why
Too bad – they’re all gonna die!

Come on all you CEOs, 
Let’s all toast our corporate ‘hos
Dubya’s waitin’ for us to say when
And Uncle Sam’s pumpin’ oil again
So, Army boys:
Get ready to go!
We’re gonna make a whole lotta dough!

CHORUS:  And it’s 1, 2, 3, we know what we’re fighting for…

Billionaires for Bush’s War
(to the tune of "The Caissons Go Rolling Along")

We're so rich!  Hear us roar!
Billionaires for Bush’s War,
Let us sing as we lead the parade!
Though our nation is blue,
We’re a bold, resourceful crew.
When there’s lemons, we make lemonade!

     Sing hey hey hey
     We should bomb Iraq today
     Like we’ve done so many times before.
     Sing ho ho ho
     We can make a lot of dough,
     As our country goes marching to war!

There’s so much to ignore
Billionaires for Bush’s War,
Corporate scandals where shredding is done!
Let the insiders trade.
There are fortunes to be made
While some Arabs go under the gun!

     Sing hey hey hey
     We should bomb Iraq today
     Like we’ve done so many times before.
     Sing ho ho ho
     We can make a lot of dough,
     As our country goes marching to war!

Let our bombers all soar,
Billionaires for Bush’s War,
Let our missiles all kick up a fuss!
How ‘bout copters and tanks?
There’s no need to tell us thanks.
You’ll be buying your weapons from us!

How ‘bout copters and tanks?
There’s no need to tell us thanks.
You’ll be buying 
your weapons 
from us!
