This is done to the tune of The Banana Boat Song
You know the one made famous by Harry Bellafonte
“Hey, Mister Tallyman, tally my bananas . . . “
Yeh, that one. Well here are some new lyrics.
(Harry is going to love this - NOT)
Hey Mister Taliban
You should leave Afghanistan
You're days are numbered
‘Cause we're looking for you.
Hey Mister Taliban
Better hide if you can
We're coming for Osama
And we're coming for you.
Six years,
Seven years,
Eight years more
Whatever it takes to win this war
You can hide
Or take a ride
On your llama
Gonna get you and then Osama
9-11 (instead of DayO)
That day in September
A day you'll rue
And we'll always remember.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
If you'd like to leave a comment on this song, please limit your critique to construction and not start a political war. Feel free to post a contrary political opinion in your own song in your own post.
Two things....
The llama is a South American pack animal. If you have new information about Osama being on an entirely different continent than where the US is currently looking, please contact your latest CIA office or just speak loudly into the lamp by your phone. Now if you were planning in pointing out some level of geographical ignorance in the segment of the US population who subscribe to this political point of view, my apologies, I misunderstood.
Two, if you are going to compress syllables to get the second line to work in the first verse, you should do the same in the second. It would make it funnier.
All in all it could be a fun song to do with the appropriate audience.
If it causes any controversy or problems just delete my post.
The Banana Boat Song was one of my lessons and in practicing it over and over I was singing to keep beat.
Got tired of the lyrics so started making up new ones
The llama? I first rhymed it with "Yo mamma" :shock:
PS Don't tell the Taliban about llamas. They'll want them.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
