Satire about Bush's embattled Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, loathed by U.S. military professionals for creating the quagmire in Iraq and setting conditions for the Abu Ghraib prison scandal

Rummy, Please
(Sung to the tune of "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Crofts)

(instrumental intro)

It's for certain, Bush is now in limbo;
Odds uneven before Election night.
The looney Right is whinin' 'bout that bimbo;
Prison showed every awful sight.

Rummy, please... please just resign.
Folks have Abu Ghraib still on their mind.
Rummy, please... please just resign.
Folks have Abu Ghraib still on their mind.

Pushin' paper, playin' up his "cakewalk."
Rummy then used it to espouse his war.
Rummy talked, "Shut up! Keep in lockstep!"
Deaths unseen, hidden loss, no score.

Rummy, please... please just resign.
Folks have Abu Ghraib still on their mind.
Rummy, please... please just resign.
Folks have Abu Ghraib still on their mind.

Streets crazed this summer; Iraq filled with gloom.
Here's why it's messed up: Bush playing buffoon.
Let's send Bush home, with his right wing jerks.
They're all Bush-hating there; Bush don't care 'bout the world.

War crimes trial awaitin' - Bush is bitchin'.
It's lookin' like dire straits for Rummy, too.
Using arms to snuff out life coldly;
Still deceiving; Bush won't say Rummy is through.

Rummy, please... please just resign.
Folks have Abu Ghraib still on their mind.
Rummy, please... please just resign.
Folks have Abu Ghraib still on their mind.

(repeat refrain and fade)
