The Lyrics

I mean who does parodies to elvis costello??
bad boy, I bet you're not a prefect
chemical, shrink wrapped so correct,
those scuds under an illegal hatch
they're hid so good, they need to sniff and scratch
he was blocking the inspections.. ooh he plays cute
he was blocking the inspections, well shoot, shoot shoot shoot
they got a coalition, and they're gonna fly
unseat saddam oh yeah they'll make him die

long shot on that u.n
give him time they said, to run again
watch that b**tard when he thumbs his nose
watchin him hide the scuds, where'd they go?
you catch him cold, what will he get,
a resolution and that's it I'll bet

I don't know how much more of this we should take
he's hiding details, while they dither and shake

he was blocking the inspections.. ooh he plays cute
he was blocking the inspections, well shoot, shoot shoot shoot
they got a coalition, and they're gonna fly
unseat saddam oh yeah they'll make him die

you think you're alone, there's 49 others in it,
this coalition is at war, we're gonna win it
gonna pay that man a little quick visit,
cause he's dangerous, and cunning way past the legal limit
the inspectors come to look if you had stuff of mass destruction,
what that? you said, it's just a piece of old construction
thought it nearly takes a nuclear to get you away,
the button by my finger will blow you away,

just for blockin the inspecions, don't get cute
blockin the inspecions, I get so angry when these tactics start
he's like the mujadin he's got no heart
blocking the inspecions blocking the inspections
just for blocking the inspections
blocking the inspecions
