(Words and Music by Amy Winehouse)
Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer
They tried to make me go to Baghdad.
I say:
no.
no.
no.
I just got back.
Back from Iraq.
Oh.
oh.
oh.
I have done my time.
We haven't won.
ain't that a crime.
They're tryin' to make me go to Baghdad.
I won't go.
go.
go.
I did it all for Uncle Sam.
Does he even give a damn?
On this third tour:
an ambush.
low ammunition.
The wham and bam
without the thank you, ma'am.
So now I'm not sure anymore:
Who and what I bore
endurin' war for.
They cried to make me go to Baghdad.
I say:
no.
no.
no.
I just got back.
Back from Iraq.
Oh.
oh.
oh.
I have done my time.
Run in the sun
and tunneled grime.
They're cryin' to make me to go to Baghdad.
I won't go.
go.
go.
The suit said:
why do you think we're there?
It's moot:
don't know and don't care.
Leaders.
I'm through with their delusions.
And it's fair
that others bear a share.
He glared:
are you just scared to bleed?
I said:
I'm just scared of Walter Reed.
They lied to make me go to Baghdad.
I say:
no.
no.
no.
I just got back.
Back from Iraq.
Oh.
oh.
oh.
They say:
this is no morass!
They say:
we are kickin' ass!
They say:
still forayin' on!
I say:
will I end up in Tehran?
They tried to make me go to Baghdad.
I say:
no.
no.
no.
I just got back.
Back from Iraq.
Oh.
oh.
oh.
I have done my time.
We haven't won.
ain't that a crime.
They're tryin' to make me go to Baghdad.
I won't go.
go.
go.
