The Lyrics
Midi available at (www.pdmusic.org/work.html)
piano introduction
1.
Can you see the poppies
Growing in the fields of,
Ottoman's Empire of Islam?
Turkey did the growing,
Then they did the packing,
Opium shipments for cousin Sam,
(CHORUS)
You tell the truth!
You will get the ZOT!
Why can't the FReepers understand?
Opium and Treason!
Opium and Treason!
Is all the Shrubbie's frat brought to our land.
Repeat CHORUS
Piano Interlude
2.
They looked like a cloud bank,
Out there from the sea coast,
A storm that was sure to hide the sun?
You would be mistaken,
They were Yankee Clippers,
On another Skull and Bones dope run.
(CHORUS)
You tell the truth!
You will get the ZOT!
Why can't the FReepers understand?
Opium and Treason!
Opium and Treason!
Is all the Shrubbie's frat brought to our land.
Repeat CHORUS
Piano Interlude
3.
Way up in the cornfields,
We would hear the thunder,
Of a Civil War with fire and gun;
This would have have been better,
BOTH sides used their guns to,
Make their Skull and Bonesmen traitors run.
(CHORUS)
You tell the truth!
You will get the ZOT!
Why can't the FReepers understand?
Opium and Treason!
Opium and Treason!
Is all the Shrubbie's frat brought to our land.
Repeat CHORUS
Piano Interlude
4.
Those tapped for the Tomb lay
Talking in a coffin,
Giving their life history away;
With the other fourteen,
Listening and watching,
Lucifer had gained their souls that day.
(CHORUS)
You tell the truth!
You will get the ZOT!
Why can't the FReepers understand?
Opium and Treason!
Opium and Treason!
Is all the Shrubbie's frat brought to our land.
Repeat CHORUS
Piano interlude
5.
We should be the masters,
and the state the servant,
That is what our Constitution spells;
But the Shrubbie Bonesboy,
he went and reversed it,
And that should have rang the warning bells.
(CHORUS)
You tell the truth!
You will get the ZOT!
Why can't the FReepers understand?
Opium and Treason!
Opium and Treason!
Is all the Shrubbie's frat brought to our land.
Repeat CHORUS

Coral Snake is NOT another name For William Tong. I am attacking Bush (aka Shrub), His Skull and Bones frat and the anti FreeRepublic.com's attitude against anti Bish CONSERVATIVE and consporacy oriented CONSERVATIVE posters from the Conspiracy oriented RIGHT of the political spectrum not the LEFT as Tong does. I do enjoy Mr. Tong's work however even though we would agree on VERRY few things other than ribbing Shrubbie. He and a Right Wing song parodist named Doug From Upland were my insiration for taking up this hobby.
