parody of "Banana Boat Song" by Harry Belafonte, Lord Burgess, and Bill Attaway
original lyrics, approximate tuneWe fly up nearly to the sun,
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
Drop our bombs down on everyone.
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
It's six tons, seven tons, eight tons DROP!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
A reign of terror that doesn't stop!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
Hey all you Taleban, hand over Osama
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
Show respect for human life, or else we're gonna bomb ya.
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
He violated a sacred trust!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
We only trained him to kill for us!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
It's six tons, seven tons, eight tons DROP!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
A reign of terror that doesn't stop!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
He should have known he couldn't mess with our civilians.
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
He murdered thousands, but we have murdered millions.
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
Just in case there was any doubt,
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
Let me tell you what this war's about!
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
Oy il, oy, oy oy il
[slower]
(Bombing run and we blow up your home)
