The US economy is crashing
They’re selling off their bonds
No bailout now
Coming from across the pond
Industry can’t compete
Like half a century ago
So let’s make some threats
Timber, watch out below
The Yankees have gone crazy
It seems the time’s come when
Now is the moment to attack
Canada again
Iran, it turned out, was
Much too much to try
To control and dominate
It could not be pacified
But maybe closer to home
They might be afraid
Of when the Mango Mussolini
Might intend to invade
Chorus
If you want to be effective
As a bully, what makes sense
Is to make sure that your victim
Can’t mount much of a defense
One-thirteenth the population
Now that’s about the size
Maybe they’ll be cowed
If you threaten a reprise
Chorus
“Attacking Canada”
When one opponent turns out to be too tough, try bullying a smaller one. It's the American Way.
