The Lyrics
In 1971, country singer Mickey Newbury released "An American Trilogy," singing "Dixie," the chorus of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," the first verse of "All My Trials" -- the song of the South, the song of the North, and the song of the slaves -- and the "Battle Hymn" chorus to close. Priscilla Presley played it for Elvis, and he did it in his concerts for the rest of his life. I've already done "Battle Hymn of the Republicans" for Bush, and "All My Files" as a parody of computers. Now, I do all three.
Oh, a fishy cuss from the land of cotton.
Old crimes, they are not forgotten.
Go away, go away, go away, fishy man.
Sing it, fellas.
Oh, that Bush, he is so fishy.
Oy vey, oy vey.
A fishy man I cannot stand.
Why is this guy so fishy?
For this fishy man, I must warn
he thinks he was royal born.
Go away, go away, go away, fishy man.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
Oh, hush, little baby, don't you cry.
You know that Georgie is bound to lie.
But all his guile, Lord, will soon be over.
(instrumental buildup)
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
The truth is long, long...
goooooooooooooooonnnne!
Old crimes, they are not forgotten.
Go away, go away, go away, fishy man.
Sing it, fellas.
Oh, that Bush, he is so fishy.
Oy vey, oy vey.
A fishy man I cannot stand.
Why is this guy so fishy?
For this fishy man, I must warn
he thinks he was royal born.
Go away, go away, go away, fishy man.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
Oh, hush, little baby, don't you cry.
You know that Georgie is bound to lie.
But all his guile, Lord, will soon be over.
(instrumental buildup)
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
The truth is long, long...
goooooooooooooooonnnne!
