A song parody I came up with yesterday

[NightTrain]

While cruising around in my delivery vehicle yesterday afternoon, I got the idea for this song parody. Hope you enjoy! :-)



THE BUSHY MAN
(Sung to the tune of “The Candy Man”)

VERSE 1:

Who can call his daddy,
to keep out of Nam?
Join the Texas Air Guard,
and spend one year on the lam?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

VERSE 2:

Who can run for pres’dent,
lose by half a mil?
Take the guy who won to court,
and get the White House still?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

BRIDGE:

The Bushy Man lied, U.S. soldiers died.
Still, nobody will impeach him.
Democrats — how do you reach them?
Didn’t that election teach them?

VERSE 3:

Who can sniff white powder,
up into his nose?
Get mixed up with Enron,
and still smell just like a rose?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

(REPEAT BRIDGE)

VERSE 4:

Who can cow reporters?
Open tax loopholes?
Never get Bin Laden,
but still rate high in the polls?

The Bushy Man.
Oh, the Bushy Man can.
The Bushy man can ‘cause he mixes it with bull
And makes his lies sound true.

3. Here's a parody for all of you...

The tune should be pretty obvious...

We have been commanded by President Bush,
To turn the Middle East into denser ball of mush
President Bush wants to take out the Arabs with one push,
His war is marching on.

Conservative Republicans,
Conservative Republicans,
Conservative Republicans,
Their war is marching on.

We have angered all the world with our preemptive strike,
Ruining our foreign policy now that is what we like,
Now our young men are going on a hike, (NOT)
Our war is marching on.

Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney are pushing us towards war,
Killing civilians now that is where they soar,
All to destroy weapons that aren’t there any more,
Their war is marching on.

Our economy is failing and poverty is ruling,
Bush is using this war to distract us from his fooling,
Around with everything as our hope is cooling,
His war is marching on.

Only one country standing in support of this attack,
Has the backing of the people that all the others lack,
We turn our eyes as looters prepare to sack,
Our war is marching on.

A dozen Bin-Ladens have just been born,
With extremist Muslims crying ‘Jihad’ all through the morn,
We hope that it’s a battle cry that’s old and worn,
Their war is marching on.

We are governed by far-right imperialists,
Who want to make our deficit disappear into the mists,
The weapons they want oh how many long lists,
Their war is marching on.

Iraq is only our first destination,
Iran and Syria are opting for decimation,
In one of those we will go in and destroy their nation,
Their war is marching on.

4. Great...

[soothsayer]

6. Great! Maybe refrain should be "...cuz he gives it to Carl Rove..."

..who makes the lies sound true"

Gives too much credit to georgie porgie otherwise. I doubt that dumbass can spin a lie---he's too cocksure and arrogant to feel that he even needs to lie.

7. Alas, your suggestion has too many syllables

That's the problem with writing song parodies--you have to be faithful to the original melody, or else it defeats the purpose. :-(
