Mel Told George
(Sung to the Harold Arlen tune "Blues In The Night")

Mel Gibson done told me,
"It won't be a cakewalk…"
Mel Gibson done told me,"Boy,
That Israeli peace talk
Will give you the black eye –
You're gonna find it's a ploy
To settle some more land –
An obvious thing to get you to swing
With the Jews on the right."

Now the axe is falling;
Orthodox are stalling; phooey –
(Mel Gibson done told me.)
Settlers aren't recalling;
Palestinians bawling; kerflooey –
Mel Gibson done told me:
"Phooey, kerflooey –
You'll tackle Iraq, but yakkity-yak
And lose to the Jews on the right."

Mel inferred that it's absurd,
My mid-East democracy thing.
Freedom bells won't ring,
And he's right –
La ti da; la ti da –
From Mosul to Najaf –
From Tikrit to Anbar –
That's where those rebels are…

Mels been in some big shows –
Indulged in some big talk –
And there is one thing he knows:
"For Israel's thing,
The most worrisome wing
Is the Jews on the right."
La ti da; la ti da –
Mel Gibson was right,
I'm losing the fight…
