about

a jolly little ditty about horticulture in iraq.

lyrics

Watering the Cactus

Watering the cactus with my naked mum,
she's a porno actress for the pentagon;
very carnivorous chorus of old chums

Humping in the bunker with an aqualung,
a rubber liposuction coagulating in the sun;
hope nobody saw us! we got him! eat your ham!

Boy I read the news today,
another messy market day;
funny how the photographs look like daddy's dirty mags!

Mr Halliburton has a certain charm,
he's got the country working on a turkey farm;
liberate the nation! gouranga! wash your hands!

Doctor it's a special case, my little boy has lost his face;
dip the cactus in the bath, it will grow back with a graft.
