Summary: polemic poem




Johnny didn't want a 'Holiday in the sun'.
George and sidekick Blair just wanna have fun.
Sign up with Bush Airlines - go with a bang.
A holiday in Iraq's just the ticket.

Flying from Turkey, or the 'Ark Royal',
Load up with 'Gung-Ho', there's a country to spoil.
But that Saddam Hussein he's a terrible host.
A holiday in Iraq's just the ticket.

You'd better hurry this package it just won't last.
The Spanish have all signed up. It'll be a blast.
For Liberty, Justice and all the oil you can steal
A holiday in Iraq's just the ticket.

A president without policies, honour or brains.
A cute English lap-dog who's government's inane,
To save their jobs via other peoples lives.
A holiday in Iraq's just the ticket.

There's Georgie, Conni, special Co-lin.
Our own little Tony. "Justice and right shall win."
Hypocrites, thieves, bullies, zealots insane.
A holiday in Iraq's just their ticket.

To tear down a tyrant for a puppet regime,
But this is about oil and George W's dreams,
But who has the right to launch war in the East?
Well that's just George W's ticket.
