The Lyrics
I read the news today. Oh, boy.
We're so sorry
'Bout the prisoners
We're so sorry if we caused them any shame
We're so sorry
'Bout the pictures
But if senators should question
We'll be sure to pass the blame
We're so sorry but we haven't had a plan
Since May
We're so sorry
'Bout the torture--
If embarrassing things happen
We can spin them all away......
(Rumsfeld, to reporters:)
"We're so sorry
And disgusted
But since freedom is untidy,
It's okay!
We're sooo sorry
'Bout the beatings--
We'll appoint a new commission
Till the heat just blows away....."
Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah
Scandals 'bout the torture
(Torture)
Scandals in headli-i-i-ines
Scandals 'bout the murders
(Murders)
Scandals heaped on lies
(Bush, to Cabinet members:)
"Secretary Rumsfeld notified me,
He gave me his report
And another PDB
I read it kinda quick
After his apology
Played a round o' golf
(Round o' golf)
This throws a little wrench into transferred sovereignty, eh, Colin?"
Scandals 'cross the water
(Water)
Scandals for G.I.-i-i-i's
Scandals 'bout the torture
(Torture)
Scandals heaped on lies
See the Bush administration in Iraq
(In Iraq)
There's no way they're turning back
In the middle of attacks
See the Bush administration in Iraq
(In Iraq)
There's no way they're turning back
Bush cuts Rumsey lots of slack
Rumsey's not a goner
(Goner)
Rumsey's doin' fi-i-i-ine
Rumsey's not a goner
(Goner)
Rumsey's doin' fine............
'Bout the prisoners
We're so sorry if we caused them any shame
We're so sorry
'Bout the pictures
But if senators should question
We'll be sure to pass the blame
We're so sorry but we haven't had a plan
Since May
We're so sorry
'Bout the torture--
If embarrassing things happen
We can spin them all away......

Great job! 555!
This doesn't just make the grade, it sets the curve! Nice work, Bob.
I love your top comment... and the fact that you were able to echo the sound of the original lyrics. Very nice job.
a great parody about a really screwed up situation....5s...
Thanks folks--I'm afraid we ain't seen nothin' yet. q;:^(
I am afraid you are right, Bob...
Great job Bob! I loved it. I gave it 5-5-5. But you're right about this not being over. It's only just begun. Other countries hate us enough now, I don't even want to know what's going to be the repurcussions of this latest.
Nice job. Can't tell you how many times the Harry S Truman quote has been referenced in newspapers of late - I guess this administration is waiving their right to invoke it.
Thanks, Bob! I agree with all the above comments...With everything that's going on, I definitely needed a laugh like this.
Another excellent submittion, Bob. Perfect song for the topic.
