Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk!
Well, my son asked me today, “Is this another Viet Nam?”
I said, “Son, you know, it’s...well, it’s...no, it’s...hmm, go ask your mom.”
It brought back such precious memories of my days in business school
My favorite stool
Then my wife said, “Hey, I’m worried, ‘cause they’re starting to deploy.”
I said, “Honey, don’t be silly, we’ll send someone else’s boy.”
‘Cause we all make sacrifices, and in a war that’s what the poor
People are for
I say fight on for freedom’s sake
‘Long as I don’t shake and bake
Chickenhawk - Call me a Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk - Proud to be a Chickenhawk
A loyal armchair jock
Let’s check that Lockheed stock
I didn’t walk the walk, but I can talk the talk
Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk!
Just because you might have seen some action there on the front line
Don’t insult the guys who served their country here on the back nine
I was gung ho for gunnin’ H˝o, but I just had other priorities
Like feeling more at ease
I say bomb them to hell, but I’d
Rather not be Kentucky Fried
Chickenhawk - Call me a Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk - Proud to be a Chickenhawk
Watch while I bring democ-
Racy to all Iraq
I didn’t walk the walk, but I can talk the talk
Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk!
Why did the chicken cross the road, well, I’ll tell ya pard’
The chicken crossed the road to join the Texas Air National Guard
Roll call!
Bush - Bawk!
Card - Bawk!
Rove - Bawk!
Ashcroft - Bawk!
Rumsfeld - Bawk!
Wolfowitz - Bawk!
Perle - Bawk!
Cheney - Go bawk yourself!
O’Reilly, Hannity, Hume - Bawk bawk bawk!
Bennett, Crystal, Lim-Bawk!
Hastert, Gingrich, Lott, Delay - Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk!
Chickenhawk - Call me a Chickenhawk
Chickenhawk - Proud to be a Chickenhawk
Watch while I bring democ-
Racy to all Iraq
I didn’t walk the walk, but I can talk the talk
Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk!
Let me make this perfectly clear
The bawk stops here!
