Give me an F (F)
Give me a O (O)
Give me another O (O)
Give me an L (L)
What’s that spell? Fool!
What’s that spell? Fool!
What’s that spell? Fool!
Now, come on you big strong MAGA men,
Donald Trump needs your help again
He’s got himself in a terrible jam,
Way down East there in Iran.
So put down your phones, and look out for drones,
It’s time to put your ass on the line.
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran.
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee, we’re all gonna die!
Well, come on generals let’s move fast,
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out, get them rags,
The only good Mullah is the one that’s dead
And you know that peace could only be won,
When we’ve blown them all to kingdom come!
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran.
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee, we’re all gonna die!
Well, come on Wall Street don’t move slow,
Why man, this is war-a-go-go.
There’s plenty good money to be made
Supplying the Army with the tools of the trade.
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it somewhere near Tehran
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran.
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee, we’re all gonna die!
Well, come on MAGA mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Iran.
Come on MAGA fathers don’t hesitate,
Send your sons off before it’s too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is in Iran.
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates.
Well, there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee, we’re all gonna die!
