Goodbye The Yellow Saddam

I wrote this song in 1991... I guess I could update it.

GOODBYE YELLOW SADDAM
Sponge Records Words by Sam O'Cates
Music Concept by Elton John

Why did you have to invade
When are you going to learn
You should have stayed in Baghdad
Should have listened to Uncle Sam

You know you're not a great leader
No Nebuchadnezzar are you
And not a person for the Arabs to worship
Palestinians are always singin'
The Blues... Ahhhhh Ahhhhh

So, goodbye Yellow Saddam
When the smart bombs started to howl
Your Air Force flew into Iran
And the Army threw in the towel

The Mother of Battles went badly for you
Most of your tanks burned down
No one will believe your future lies
We bombed the Yellow Saddam
Ahhhhh Ahhhhh

Where do you think you'll hide now
You've left your country in flames
A couple of weeks on the beaches of Yemen
Would put you on your feet again

Iraq sure needs a replacement
You better be sure you're not found
Loser like you, there haven't been many
They need someone better than you
Ahhhhh Ahhhhh

So, goodbye Yellow Saddam
When the smart bombs started to howl
Your Air Force flew into Iran
And the Army threw in the towel

The Mother of Battles went badly for you
Most of your bridges fell down
No one will believe your future lies
We bombed the Yellow Saddam
Ahhhhh Ahhhhh
