Lyrics
BOMB IRAN – parody lyrics of “Barbara Ann”
© Rachel Stone 4/30/07
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran.
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb…
Let's bomb Iran.
Because we can
Bomb Iran.
Let's put up our dukes
Stop their building nukes
Bomb Iran, bomb, bomb.
Bomb, bomb Iran.
Osama was the man
Then the Taliban
Got Saddam Hussein
But we haven't won the game!
So bomb Iran, bomb Iran
That's the plan.
Bomb Iran, bomb Iran, hey, their man
Denied the Holocaust
Who cares about the cost?
Bomb Iran, bomb, bomb
Bomb, bomb Iran.
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran.
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb…
So bomb Iran
They want Islam
To rule the land
With a culture medieval.
The Axis of Evil.
Bomb Iran, bomb, bomb.
Bomb, bomb Iran.
When Al Queda struck,
We were out of luck,
Tried to change the score,
Now we're stuck in civil war!
So bomb Iran, bomb Iran,
'Cause Iraq is out of hand, with no Exit Plan.
Iran sells our guns
To their Al Queda chums
So bomb Iran, bomb, bomb.
Bomb, bomb Iran.
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran.
Bomb, bomb, bomb. Bomb, bomb…
So bomb Iran
Strike up the band
More war’s the plan
Cheney says he’s bad
So whack Ahmadinajad!
Bomb Iran, bomb, bomb.
Bomb, bomb Iran.
Bomb Iran. Bomb, bomb Iran…
…And all we are saying…is give BOMBS a chance!
