Dumbya Was a Babblin Gnome
This is intended to be sung to the tune of "Papa was a rolling stone." Some of the rhythm is a bit jerky, but then, so was the original. The original lyrics are numerous places on the web, including here:

Dumbya Was a Babblin Gnome



Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled words was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was a-loo-oo-oo-one
Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled truth was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was alone in the world


It was the twelfth of December,
That day I’ll always remember
‘Cause that was the day that democracy died.
Saddam’s WeMaDs, did 9-11,
Never heard nothin’ but lies come from him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

And Mama just hung her head and said, Son
Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled words was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was a-loo-oo-oo-one
Dumbya was a babbli' gnome, wherever he mangled truth was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was alone in the world


Hey, Mama, is it true what they say
That Dumbya never made a job in his term?
And Mama, some bad talk goin' around town
sayin’ that chickenhawk lied to start a war and a year AWOL
and that ain't right
Heard some talk about Dumbya doing some White House preaching
Talking about family values and all the time leaching
Dealing inside and stealing in the name of Ken Lay

But Mama just hung her head and said, Son
Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled words was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was a-loo-oo-oo-one
Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled truth was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was alone in the world


Hey Mama, I heard Dumbya call himself compassionate uniter;
Tell me, is that what “Go fuck yourself” means?
Folks say Dumbya would lie, torture, or cheat to get his war
Hey Mama, Folks say Dumbya never was much on thinkin’,
Spent most of his time chasin’ WeMaDs, hoodwinkin’
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

And Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, Son
Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled words was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was a-loo-oo-oo-one
Dumbya was a babblin' gnome, wherever he mangled truth was his home
And when he warred, all he left us was alone in the world



I think this is my 700th post, so maybe I'll be lucky and get to make lots of responses to responses and get out of the 700 club sooner.

1. I promise to only do this once...
Shameless kick. I kind of was hoping that someone would like this or even hate it enough to comment.
