 AHey old Saddam, Dyou figured wrong
When you Athought the whole world would back Edown,
And let you Atake all the oil and rape KuDwait and plunder and spoil.
Let Asleeping dogs Elie, 
Don't give us a Areason.
'Cause Apeople in the USA are Dnot really afraid,
Of your Astarving army and all your wore out Etanks.
And if you Atake some innocent lives, that's when the fur'Ds gonna really fly,
Hey man, back Aoff and get Esmart,
Don't give us a Areason.
Don't give us a Dreason to come gunnin' for Ayou,
'Cause the odds don't look so good, 
And your B7neck is in a Enoose.
'Cause the AEagle and the Bear make a Dmighty strong pair,
And F#mmy advice is:
 EDon't give us a Areason.
When all our Apeople over there Dknow that we all care,
Now that's a Asituation old Saddam, you don't wanna be Ein...
'Cause if Ayou do something stupid,
We're gonna Dcome down hard on ol' Cupid (??)
You better Athink this one all the Eway out,
Don't Agive us a reason.
Don't give us a Dreason to come gunnin' for Ayou,
'Cause the odds don't look so good, 
And your B7neck is in a Enoose.
Yeah, you Apicked on your little neighbour, so Ddo yourself a favour:
Get F#mout and go Ehome,
And don't give us a Areason.
 AYeah, we've heard all your threats, and you're gonna Dthreat yourself to death.
 AMy advice is, Edon't give us a Areason.
You can take that poison gas, and Dstick it in your sassafras,
 AHa ha ha, Edon't give us a Areason.
I'd like to find out just for fun, just Dhow fast those camels can run,
I Atell ya son, Edon't Agive us a reason. 
'Cause the desert ain't Vietnam, and there ain't Dnowhere to run,
And we got some AREAL top guns,
 EDon't give us a Areason.
[Instrumental]
