• tune: There’s No Business Like Show Business

There’s no business like war business,
The best business we know.
Never mind the homeless and the hungry,
Never mind the people without jobs.
Nowhere can you get that special feeling
Like when you’re piling up the bombs.

There’s no business like war business,
The best business we know.
Sixty seconds spending is a lot of bucks,
It seems a lot, but golly shucks,
The same amount buys food and clothes for all the world,
For all of the world.

(Kazoo and dance)

Now you bought yourself a new supply of oil–
Goodie, goodie!
And IT’S loCAted ON Iraqi soil–
Goodie, goodie!
Did you think that this would fix
The problems we must lick,
Like millions without food and homes,
And water not fit to drink?

Ta ra ra BOOM de ay!
We don’t like war today.
The bombs are now passe.
They must be put away.

Ta ra ra BOOM de ay!
War doesn’t work no more.
It could go nuclear.
Ta ra ra BOOM!
