Some Songs for Obama
Granny Shirly from the e-vine contributed this:
Obama, We Don’t Need the War
(Tune: “It Ain’t Necessarily So”)
Lyrics by Shirley Littman of the NYC Metro Raging Grannies
Obama, we don’t need the war.
We don’t want the war anymore.
We told our last leader,
But he was a cheater :
“We don’t want the war anymore.”
Obama, get out of Iraq.
Get out and don’t ever go back!
We’re glad you’re elected ,
And now you’re expected,
To pull out the troops from Iraq.
Obama we send you this song,
It’s not that you’ll never go wrong.
But we must remind you,
That we stand behind you,
Just pull out where we don’t belong!
Granny Nora added:
Kudos to Shirley for coming up with this right on time! It occurred to me that we also need to address the Afghanistan issue, since Obama has repeatedly said he believes that we need to redouble our efforts there, to “catch” Osama bin Laden. So here is another verse to the same song:
More fighting in Afghanistan
Is part of the same lousy plan
Civilians are dying
In this war you’re buying
Obama, we need a new plan
