MACHINE GUN BOOGIE
There was a fella by the name of Bush
His daddy he gave him a fatherly push
He wanted to get inside Iraq
He got inside – they pushed him back
They put him out to grass with a hefty wad
They should've kicked his ass with a firing squad
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat-tat
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat-tat
Across the sea was a guy named Blaire
Another sort of millionaire
He didn't much like to beat about the bush
So he gave Boy Georgie a fatherly push
They should've fired him on the spot
Or have fired him first then had him shot
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat

Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat-tat
Well Donald Duck was just a very silly name
The Donald to fuck was even more to blame
He got his knickers in a twist in front of the press
He got his knickers in a twist and made one helluva mess
To have to pose for a shoot he was extremely rude
To have to shoot him at all they should've shot that dude.
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat
Rat-a-tat-tat tat tat

Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat-tat machine gun boogie
Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat Rat-a-tat-tat
Well the senate preferred the electric chair
Till a high court judge said that aint fair
I have a marketable drug to try
But it aint very pleasant to watch 'em die
So calling up the will of God
They hauled them up before a firing squad
Poppity pop machine gun boogie
Poppity pop machine gun boogie
Poppity pop machine gun boogie
Poppity pop machine gun boogie
Machine gun boogie was what they cried
Machine gun boogie was how they died
(ppp, muted, like In the Mood)
Poppity pop pop pop
Poppity pop pop pop
Poppity pop pop pop
Poppity pop pop pop
Poppity pop pop pop
Poppity poppity poppity pop
(fff)
