'Twas the Night Before Desert-Storm
-----------------------------------

'Twas the night before Desert-Storm
and all through Iraq
Not a weapon was stirring
not even a track.

When up, in the air,
there arose such a clatter
Saddam jumped from bed
to see what was the matter.

He whipped up the window,
threw open the sash -
And was narrowly missed
by Iraqi ack-ack!

And what before his bloodshot eyes
should ensue,
But an attack by Eagles,
and some Tornadoes too.

In nap-of-the-earth
the fighters they came.
They bombed as they went,
and they kicked ass by name!

"Hey Mohammed! Hey Abdullah!
Hey Terik-the-sleaze!
Here's a Maverick, some Snakeyes,
napalm if you please!"

Missile batteries, command posts,
the pilots zapped them with ease -
"Who said this was tough?
With Pave Tack it's a breeze!"

Then to the palace they turned
and they let their bombs fly
All the while screaming
"Death from the sky!"

One bomb, it was targeted
down the chimney and flue-
Not a mean feat
with a Mark Eighty-two!

The windows, they shattered
the chimney, it fell
And Saddam cleaned his trousers
while the bombers raised hell.

The aircrews yelled back
as they streaked out of sight,
"If it makes you feel better
we'll be bombing all night!"
