PETRO DOLLARS (Parody of) Wooly Bully by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs
Lyrics to PETRO DOLLARS
Petro Dollars 1
Nixon told Saudi
We will buy your oil
and supply you weapons
to create turmoil,
Petro-dollars
Petro-dollars
It’s why Saudi
can be naughty
Petro-dollars.
Saudi told Kerry
We will foot the bill
if you transform Syria
into a big landfill.
Petro-dollars
Petro-dollars
If you buy oil
from the Saudis
It’s Petro -dollars.
It’s the US dollar
you are forced to use
otherwise your country
will be where missiles cruise.
Petro-dollars
Petro-dollars
Keeps the corrupt
from goin’ bankrupt,
Petro-dollars.
Petro dollar 2
So what is Saudi
gettin’ from the deal?
They get our military
to bend over and squeal –
Petro-dollars
Petro-dollars
We form positions
on their conditions.
Petro-dollars
Petro-dollars
Petro-dollars
If you buy oil
from the Saudis
It’s Petro -dollars.
Keeps the corrupt
from goin’ bankrupt,
Petro-dollars.
It’s why Saudi
can be naughty
Petro-dollars.
