"Battle Hymn Of The Banana Republic"
The Lyrics
Way down Central America, quite near El Salvador
There's a little nation you may not have come across before
Coz it's really only been around since 1994
Say, what's this country's name?
El or San Something-or-other
Army Chief's the Prez's brother
And the the treasurer's his mother
But that might change today...
Well, we know it's pretty obvious the government will crash
But we've all been told we're lucky, coz they've just found oil and gas
You hombres can have democracy, we'd rather have the cash
That's just our third world way!
Glory glory las banana
Maybe we'll be rich mañana
Ev'ry peasant, ev'ry farmer
Is trafficking cocaine
When your currency is toilet paper, things are pretty dire
But El Presidente's organised a tour by Mariah
She's supported by the Mormon freakin' Tabernacle Choir..
Rev'lution's on its way!!
Glory glory, catholic madre
She hoped I would be a padre
But I'd rather take the hard way
To Heaven's pearly gate
In the capital the president has built a casa nice
If he thinks he'll be there Saturday, he should be thinkin' twice!
Far too many years of watching reruns of Miami Vice
Have addled up his brain..
Glory glory revolution!
It's the optimal solution
To political pollution
And "burros" holding sway
Our geography is wondrous and our beaches hard to beat
But our deficit is higher than the smackheads on the street
Seems a popular uprising sure would make the day complete
Let's storm an embassy!!
Freedom fighters with bandanas
Smoking mucho marijuanna
Play us some Carlos Santana
We'll all call ourselves "Che"
If your Uncle Sam can help out, it would really make our day
And if he installs a puppet, we will look the other way
We will even sew his jeans and sneakers for illegal pay
We love the USA!!
Glory glory Alabama
Mississippi and Montana
Viva la Republicana!!
Bananas cheap...OLE!!!
