Another one that I don’t think was used, although I rather like this one.
The US troops dropped some inappropriate stuff in an attempt to provide relief to/for the Bosnian Muslims.
I think I covered the matter with subtlety and grace.
I GOT BACON
(To the Tune of “I Got Rhythm”)
INTRO – US TROOP
In this fast and troubled world,
We sometimes lose our crates;
Of food intended for,
Muslims in Bosnia.
Do do do do do do do do
VERSE 1 – BOSNIAN MUSLIMS, RUMMAGING THROUGH CRATES
I got bacon,
I got pork chops,
I got crackling,
Who could ask for anything more?
I got matzos,
Kosher bagels,
Hebrew prayer books,
Will they send us anything more?
MIDDLE BIT 1 – US TROOP
Old man Clinton, sent the poor food,
We dropped more food,
In the Serb village next door.
VERSE 2 – BACK TO BOSNIAN MUSLIMS, RUMMAGING THROUGH CRATES
I got books by,
Salman Rushdie, (rubs head)
Heavy reading,
Will those jerks send anything more?
MIDDLE BIT 2 – A BOSNIAN MUSLIM
Old man Clinton, please deny us,
Don’t supply us,
With this weighty crap no more.
VERSE 3 – BOSNIAN MUSLIMS
I got headaches,
Crate hit my bonce,
I’ve concussion,
Can’t remember anything more,
Can’t remember anything more.
(Silence – exit stage looking confused and bemused)
