The Lyrics
This parody works best if you pronounce it I-ROCK. I have wanted to do this for a while.
(They) Stood there boldly
Diggin' up some holes
We were looking for
Public Enemy One
He was 'round somewhere
He was in a country
Like Iraq
It was Sunday
Lots of facial hair
And then we caught him
And we shaved his beard
He's our prisoner from
Some foreign country
Like Iraq
We have Saddam now
I knew those guys were right
Caught him on purpose
He did not give a fght
And I knew he was
In one of these countries
Like Iraq
Like Iraq, he was hiding in Tikrit
Like Iraq, Saddam's really scaring me
Like Iraq, we got Saddam Hussein
Like Iraq
(They) Stood there boldly
Diggin' up some holes
We were looking for
Public Enemy One
He was 'round somewhere
He was in a country
Like Iraq
We have Saddam now
I knew those guys were right
Caught him on purpose
He did not give a fght
And I knew he was
In one of these countries
Like Iraq
And Saddam did not fight
This song is very lightweight
And Hussein comes out of the hole, yeah!
We got him
Got him
(Repeat chorus twice)
Diggin' up some holes
We were looking for
Public Enemy One
He was 'round somewhere
He was in a country
Like Iraq
It was Sunday
Lots of facial hair
And then we caught him
And we shaved his beard
He's our prisoner from
Some foreign country
Like Iraq
We have Saddam now
I knew those guys were right
Caught him on purpose
He did not give a fght
And I knew he was
In one of these countries
Like Iraq
Like Iraq, he was hiding in Tikrit
Like Iraq, Saddam's really scaring me
Like Iraq, we got Saddam Hussein
Like Iraq
(They) Stood there boldly
Diggin' up some holes
We were looking for
Public Enemy One
He was 'round somewhere
He was in a country
Like Iraq
We have Saddam now
I knew those guys were right
Caught him on purpose
He did not give a fght
And I knew he was
In one of these countries
Like Iraq
And Saddam did not fight
This song is very lightweight
And Hussein comes out of the hole, yeah!
We got him
Got him
(Repeat chorus twice)

Speaking as a decade police officer, I believe TOS was from the eighties. Speaking as myself, I think this parody has a pretty good concept, and even though there really isn't a whole lotta humour in it, it is still worthy of a 5,5,5 vote. I always hear TOS like that.
