The Lyrics
When I started this one, I intended it to be a more sardonic look at things... instead (probably because there's no number to rhyme with "Collateral damage" or "Friendly fire"), it's turned into a rather gung-ho cheer-on-me-lads sort of song. But it had to be, if only for the line "And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein". Still, looks like the coalition forces are doing better than expected at the moment - fingers crossed, and all that.
Americans went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
Americans went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
Americans went in two by two, an Abrams and an Apache, too
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in three by three, hurrah, hurrah x2
With missiles to take out Iraqi TV
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in four by four, hurrah, hurrah x2
Bombing a little, then bombing some more
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in five by five, hurrah, hurrah x2
Saddam was praying he'd get out alive
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in six by six, hurrah, hurrah x2
Disinformationists up to their tricks
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah x2
Republican Guard was already leavin'
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah x2
They've got Baghdad to emancipate
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah x2
Marching up in a long straight line
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah x2
Watch out North Korea, they'll do it again
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in two by two, hurrah, hurrah
Americans went in two by two, an Abrams and an Apache, too
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in three by three, hurrah, hurrah x2
With missiles to take out Iraqi TV
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in four by four, hurrah, hurrah x2
Bombing a little, then bombing some more
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in five by five, hurrah, hurrah x2
Saddam was praying he'd get out alive
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in six by six, hurrah, hurrah x2
Disinformationists up to their tricks
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah x2
Republican Guard was already leavin'
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah x2
They've got Baghdad to emancipate
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in nine by nine, hurrah, hurrah x2
Marching up in a long straight line
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
Americans went in ten by ten, hurrah, hurrah x2
Watch out North Korea, they'll do it again
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein
And they all went into Iraq, for to get Saddam Hussein

Maybe it was another Phil Alexander, but its kinda....... similar. This site is about songs. Kerrang! is about songs. It was you wasn't it? Anybob! Great parody! You should tell Kerrang! all about this site, and tell them to put the best ones in the mag! bye! From Elróthiel
Hi! Me again! Just checking in to say that if you ARE one of the editors in Kerrang! mag, maybe you could talk to the person who decides what's gonna be in it and recommend MORE HIM!!! And MORE VILLE VALO!!!!! Oh yea, and DEFINITELY MORE KURT COBAIN!!!!! Sorry.... I get carried away when it comes to my obsessions.....*nervous laugh* Ja ne! From Elróthiel, the Insane Elven Goddess of Hilariosity and Laughter! PS: NIRVANA, KURT, HIM, AND VILLE ROCK!!!!!! PPS: *wishes for a heartagram emoticon*
No, I'm not the Kerrang editor - thank F***... but he's certainly the most common "Phil Alexander" to turn up in a google search.
i want the lyrics for the normal one the animals went in 2 by 2 4 gods sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hello..... im just wanted to know where i could find the original song.... please, anybody can tell me???? Cheers!!! :P
I also was looking for the normal lyrics (try http://www.poppyfields.net/poppy/songs/twobytwo.html) but haven\\'t laughed so much bor ages. bRILLIANT LYRICS
Loved it,lol
PEOPLE....If you want original lyrics go to Wikipedia and type in The Animals go in two by two instead of went.I also downloaded this song from Ares.
Well intended idea and I go along with the content . I tried to sing it but it just didn't get my mojo woikin. Mebbe it's coz I sang the "original" song first with all the animal malarky going on and that is funny. Four legs good - two legs not so good...
