Protesters sing 'Yankee Poodle Tony'
Protesters have begun to voice their anger over the controversial visit of George W Bush.

The silence of the 41-gun salute and US national anthem at Buckingham Palace was broken by protester Joe Gittens who shouted anti-war songs which branded Tony Blair as a "poodle".

<snip>
A small group of anti-war protesters joined him in song to the horror of Bush supporters who urged them to shut up. Then as The Star Spangled Banner was struck up he began singing "Yankee Poodle Tony" to the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.

<snip>
Gittens then stopped but said: "I was just continuing for as long as I could. I was not trying to drown out their anthem.

7. Here are the lyrics
Bush's poodle's nose is brown;
Blair follows Bush the Phony.
Hell for leather,
Bomb Iraq for oil, George and Tony.

Bush's poodle licks Bush up.
Bush's poodle, Tony.
Bush is useless and inept,
Yet, Blair props up this phony.

Bush from Pennsy Avenue
Along with Blair from Downing
Plot another oil war,
To which their folks are frowning.

Bush's poodle licks Bush up.
Bush's poodle, Tony.
Bush is useless and inept
Yet, Blair props up this phony.

London bows to Washington;
Iraq oil will mean billions.
Cannon fodder, our young men,
While slaughtering civilians.

Bush's poodle licks Bush up.
Bush's poodle, Tony.
Bush is useless and inept,
Yet, Blair props up this phony.

6. Lyrics
Heres what I found:


"Yankee Doodle" Based on the performance by Traditional
"Bush's Poodle, Tony" Parody by William Tong

Dedicated to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, widely ridiculed at home as "Dubya's poodle" for his obeisance to Bush's push for war on Iraq

Bush's poodle's nose is brown;
Blair follows Bush the Phony.
Hell for leather,
Bomb Iraq for oil, George and Tony.

Bush's poodle licks Bush up.
Bush's poodle, Tony.
Bush is useless and inept,
Yet, Blair props up this phony.

Bush from Pennsy Avenue
Along with Blair from Downing
Plot another oil war,
To which their folks are frowning.

Bush's poodle licks Bush up.
Bush's poodle, Tony.
Bush is useless and inept
Yet, Blair props up this phony.

London bows to Washington;
Iraq oil will mean billions.
Cannon fodder, our young men,
While slaughtering civilians.

Bush's poodle licks Bush up.
Bush's poodle, Tony.
Bush is useless and inept,
Yet, Blair props up this phony.
