The Lyrics

he grew up in a small iraqi town
had a mean dad and mama, who batted him around
so he grew up cruel and loved to fight
with those wild iraqi boys on those hot iraqi nights

well, a man to fear, by the age of eighteen
he blew his foes away...was meaner than mean
iraqis were seduced...the public was behoovin'
he said "you dig me, or you better get a-movin'......on
keep movin' on

last chance for ol' hussein
one last shot to cause some pain
US soldiers creepin' in
to try and swat him down again

well, i don't know, but i've been told
he never gave ground...his routine got old
this boy was screwin' up...he must be put down
full of himself...scourge of his town
oh my my...oh hell yes
marchin' around in parade dress
i think it stinks...i say its wrong
US gonna come and he won't last long

last chance for ol' hussein
one last shot to cause some pain
US soldiers creepin' in
to try and swat him down again

there's soldiers down in baghdad square
ol' saddam's lurking here somewhere
hiding out underneath the dunes
search dogs will be coming soon
oh my my...oh hell yes
when he emerged, he was quite a mess
he looked so stupefied, and so tired to the bone
finally got his number...and he's been dethroned

last chance for ol' hussein
one last shot to cause some pain
US soldiers creepin' in
to try and swat him down again

This was actually a 90's song, but I love the parody. Must give it a perfect 5,5,5!
