The Lyrics
Well, sometimes ya gotta go where the parody takes ya . . . Some of you might know this folksong, but even if you don't the format is pretty simple. Enjoy.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the Year of our Lord Two Thousand One
The war on terror had just begun.
We vowed to put terrorists on the run,
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Two,
We gave the Taliban their due.
We killed a bunch but we missed a few.
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Three,
We made the Iraqi People Free.
But we're still searching for WMD,
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Four,
We'll probably start an Iranian War,
The best way to get at least four more,
is Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the Year of our Lord Two Thousand One
The war on terror had just begun.
We vowed to put terrorists on the run,
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Two,
We gave the Taliban their due.
We killed a bunch but we missed a few.
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Three,
We made the Iraqi People Free.
But we're still searching for WMD,
Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.
In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Four,
We'll probably start an Iranian War,
The best way to get at least four more,
is Stamping out the terror.
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Patsy-orry-orry-ay,
Stamping out the terror.

Stray Pooch--I'm glad to see you post another parody; I was wondering what had become of you.
Yeah, welcome back. I think the Pogues covered this ("Poor Paddy", I think they called it). Anyway, well done.
