Shrub's Crying
(Sung to the tune of "Crying" by Roy Orbison)
Guest song parody by Darrell Decker

(As sung by Dubya, desperate for a war on Iraq as a distraction from his ineptitude)

(instrumental intro)

I was all right... for a while.
Had 'em fooled for a while.
I was attacking Saddam,
Now they see it's a sham.
And I can't find nothing new.
As Dick wished me well,
I know he could tell...

That I'd been cry-i-i-ng, I'm so blue.
Cry-i-i-ng I'm so blue.
O'Neill and Lindsey gone,
Left me standing alone,
Alone and crying...
Crying... crying.... cry-i-i-ng...
As the economy tanks, my support has sank.
That's why I'm crying.

I thought a war... would set me straight.
Folks are fine when they hate.
I want to beat them so bad.
That's why I'm feeling so sad.
So tell me, what can I do-o-o?
The U.N. guys let me down,
A big nothing they've found,
That's why I'm...

Cry-i-i-ng, I'm so blue.
Cry-i-i-ng, I got screwed.
Has my war chance now gone?
Saddam's oil is what I want.
I'll be crying... crying... crying... cry-i-i-ng...
Yeah crying...
Crying...
O-o-o-over crude.

(instrumental ending)
