A song I wrote: "Casey's Mom" (to be sung to the tune of "Casey Jones")

[Generic Other]

Casey's mom she had a mission clear;
Casey's mom refused to live in fear.
"All I need is to see my president,"
So she followed him to Texas on vacation where he went.

Casey's mom she camped out in the road;
Casey's mom she wouldn't go away,
But Mr. Bush, he wouldn't come outside.
He was hiding out in Texas on vacation where he went.

Cindy Sheehan when she heard the news,
Sitting on her bedside, she was lacing up her shoes.
Though her friends all told her don't you hold your breath
She said "I'm gonna ask the president what caused my brave son's death."

Casey's mom she had a mission clear;
Casey's mom refused to live in fear.
"All I need is to see my president,"
So she followed him to Texas on vacation where he went.

Cindy Sheehan in the Texas sun,
Asking Bush to explain what he had done.
Get your hat, put it on your head.
Go down and tell his mother why her brave boy is dead.

Casey's mom said before she died,
Two more roads that I want to ride.
People said, what roads can they be?
The one that goes to Crawford and the one to DC.

8. Cindy songs: to the tune of "Deep in the Heart of Texas"

Here's one I found:

For his "hard work", George gets a perk
Its five weeks off in Texas!
He'll smirk and gloat, read "My Pet Goat"
At his fake ranch in Texas!
She's cool and calm, she's Casey mom
She came to chat in Texas!
His pants are wet, `cause she's a "threat"
Just standing there in Texas...

The folks he'll see, pledge loyalty
And that's not just in Texas!
She wants a word, you chicken turd
So come outside, in Texas!
You commit crimes, but she'll do time
For bugging you in Texas!
It's time you see, it's our country
We will not let you wreck us...

12. I can't hear you....

There is a skunk, who's prob'ly drunk
Hiding is ass in Texas.
He's clearing brush, being a lush,
Drinking a fifth, in Texas

<SNIP>

Won't talk to moms, whose sons are gone,
While on vaca-, in Texas.
She sits and waits, while he casts bait,
Let's take over that ranch, in Texas.

[nofurylike]

16. well now, that might be a good thing. nah. singin out!! eom

13. Yellow Rose of Texas Parodies

for a parody of "The Yellow Rose Of Texas"

Oh the yellow stripe in Texas
Is 'bout half mile wide
It runs down Dubya's middle
'Cause Cindy lurks outside
You can talk about your chickenhawks
And sing of war sublime
But the yellow stripe of Texas
Runs where others have a spine.

and another....

oh the yellow man in Teaxas
has trousers full of pee.
his poll numbers are tanking
so Cindy he won't see
He'll send the texas rangers out
and maybe she will leave.
just like the way old Dubya did
when absent without leave..

14. AWOL RAG

Well come on all you Americans
Uncle Sam needs a helpin' hand
Jumped us into a big ol' jam
Over yonder in `raqistan
Hummers hum
Hear the rockets roar!
Now march yer ass to the war!

And it's one, two, three
What are we fightin' for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop Eye-raqistan!
And it's five, six, seven
No! No! Guantanamo Gate!
Now who started this row?
All Hat! No Cow!
Whoopie! We're all AWOL now!

11. These are way better than mine!

Here's a start: (3.99 / 131)

The stars of the Right
Are filled with fright
Deep in the heart of Texas
They're hiding from
Somebody's mom
Deep in the heart of Texas

The guy who's boss
Takes five weeks off
Deep in the heart of Texas
Yells "Bring it on"
Yet hides from moms
Deep in the heart of Texas

The President
Sure acts low rent
Deep in the heart of Texas
He's awfully windy
Yet hides from Cindy
Deep in the heart of Texas

The cattle's fat
Imagine that
Deep in the heart of Texas
Yet Bush has none
'Cause he's all hat
Deep in the heart of Texas
