The Ballad of Osama

Parody by: Robert J. Pagliaro
Original: "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" by Paul Henning

Come and listen to a story bout O-sa-ma Bin
Saudi millionaire who thought terror wasn’t sin
An’ then one day with the blessing of Iraq
Osama Bin Laden ordered an attack

Hijacks, that is. New York, Terror style.

Well the next thing you know our bombs were in the air,
Qaida folk said "Bin move away from there"
Said "New York is the place you ought to be"
So he loaded up the camel and moved to NYC.

Apple, that is. Sinnin’ fools, girlie bars.

George Dubya kept on bombing, just wouldn’t stop the war
And now that little country isn’t anymore
Lots of folks defected due east to Pakistan
And barbers made a killing without the Taliban

Beards, that is. Shaving cream, razor blades

And while its true we just don’t know where O-la-den has been.
Some say he drives a taxi, perhaps one you were in.
You're all invited out to view his old locality
In case you didn’t hear it, it’s now a deep blue sea

Afghan Sea, that is. Have a swim, Take your Burka off
Y’all come back, hear.
