God, Guys & Song
(Bushie's Wine, Women & Song)

As sung to his God by Bushie to Cole Porter's
"It's All Right With Me"
(It's the wrong time and the wrong place.)

We're the right guys in the right place
Though his long face still needs my smiley face –
And as for graceful exits, why hold a footrace?
That would be the, uh, wrong pace for me.

They are so wrong to say I am wrong,
For though headstrong I have never been wrong –
Nor am I a ding-dong with a swan song.
That would be a long song for me.

I'm being told that he's the best we could get –
Something they've said about me, too.
I hope he also is prepared to forget
Why Moktada al-Sadr hates me and you.

You're the wrong God, which I find odd,
But unlike their God, you have appeared flawed –
They've run roughshod and rarely hurrahed
For old Rummy and me,
Which I thought, God,
Was not, God,
Supposed to be.
