Hist'ry's Booby Prize
Sung to the Jerome Kern tune
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"

We've asked you how you knew
What Saddam would do.
You of course act snide,
Keeping lies you hide
Wrongly classified.

Some say you hoped you'd find
Threats to all mankind.
Is your mirror blind?
There before your eyes –
Hist'ry's Booby Prize!

We all laughed,
Thinking that you had gaffed,
Till we realized you'd lied.
Yet today
Our troops seem there to stay,
A view that you've decried.

Your critics still deride
What you cannot hide.
Behind that wretched smile,
Another Bush who lies –
Hist'ry's Booby Prize!
