Capturing Osama Bin Laden with humor and free speech. Lunatics survive best in the dark, putting him in the light shows how small he really is. Hope he hears it.

About the song
In this great country of America, we are granted FREE SPEECH. We wrote very touching & emotional 911 cd (out soon)with songs like Terror of New York posted on site. But was asked to write a song comparing Osama to the circus in a comedy.Like a challenge. So this has a narrator, Ringmaster, Osama and sound effects. It was a fun challenge and the cd is a way of healing thru expression and escaping our own fears thru humor and perspective. There's always been lunatics and bogeymen like Osama bin laden. They survive best in the dark. Hiding in the shadows, cowardly. Only wish we could get this and entire cd in his hands.Won the contest, and had fun creating the song. And would love to boost the troops morale. We'll get ya' bin laden with our pen. iris & tlee
Lyrics
OSSI THE CLOWN (Century Demos, Tlee & Iris)

(wind blows)

Bin Laden rode a camel, his camel had two humps
He pissed his camel off, Bin laden, he got dumped
So poor old OSAMA caught a ride on a llama
Decided he'd leave Afghanistan (applause)
He was used to moving 'round, cave to cave, town to town
He said "I'll join the circus if I can"

When he finally got an interview,how he did I've no clue
But the Ringmaster said "You can apply! How's 'bout the flying trapeze?"

"No, I'm too weak in my knees -(Burp)and I don't think I've ever been that high"

"Okay, I know you're into animals, how bout working with the goats? huh?"

But the goats, they didn't trust him, thought he might just steal their coats

"Well, I could give you a whip, the lions you could tame"

But the lions all said "NO, we don't even like his name"

(Burp) So Osama said "I'll do anything I can, what about the bearded lady, though it sounds kinda shady"

"Won't work, you mostly a man-
Osama, you ever heard of Bellow
A real clown of a fellow
He, like you, is known the world around
He makes life so sunny
he's got humor and he's funny
Osama, maybe you could be hired as a clown"

refrain:
(with hand claps)Now he's Ossi the Clown
Slithers like a snake, when he sneaks around
Ossi, the clown, the biggest joke in town

Left his camel and his cave in Afghanistan(laugh)
Now he makes a living being our, funny man
So if the circus comes to town
Ya'll be sure to come on down
See our greatest sensation
We call him, OSSI, the clown

"Hey, man, I ain't just clowning around
he's really here
He got brave, and left his cave
Osama joined the circus and now he's Ossi the clown (laughter)
