If I'd Been Here
Being sung to the Vietnamese by Bushie
to the Rodgers & Hammerstein tune
"If I Loved You"
(If I loved you, time and again I would try to say)

If I'd been here,
Time and again I'd have wondered why
Poppy dared let me go.

Had he no fear?
Could he be sure that I'd hear what I
Thought was most apropos?

Longings for free trade and chances to share
Nucular arms with whoever lived where –

Now that I'm here
How many nukes do you want to try?
I'll let Israel know
So my voters see
That I've been here.

Music by Richard Rodgers
Original Lyric by Oscar Hammerstein III
