Hunting Bin Laden

"Hunting Bin Laden" (to the tune of "Waltzing Matilda" and with my apologies to Aussies everywhere)

Once a U.S. Ranger snuck into Afghanistan,
Under the cover of night crept he.
And he hummed as he sat, and waited by the waterhole,
You'll come a'hunting Bin laden with me.
Hunting Bin Laden,
Hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
And he hummed as he sat, and waited by the waterhole,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!

Down came Abdullah to drink beside the waterhole,
Up jumped the ranger and seized him with glee!
And he sang as he "talked" with Abdullah by the waterhole,
you'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!
Hunting Bin Laden,
hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
And he sang as he "talked" with Abdullah by the waterhole,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!

Up came the Taliban, riding on their AFVs,
Up popped Apaches one, two, three!
And they laughed, and they sang, as their missiles found the enemy,
You'll come a hunting Bin Laden with me!
Hunting Bin Laden,
hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
And they laughed, and they sang, as their missiles found the enemy,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!

In screamed the Eagles, dealing death with cluster bombs,
In flew the Lancers and F16s,
and Abdullah shook, and sobbed to the Ranger by the waterhole,
"I'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with thee!"
Hunting Bin Laden,
Hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
And Abdullah shook, and sobbed to the Ranger by the waterhole,
"I'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with thee!"

In blew the doors as the Rangers took the training camps,
Up went their dumps and their RPGs!
"Where's that pile of camel dung who thought to kill our countrymen?"
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
Hunting Bin Laden,
Hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
"Where's that pile of camel dung who thought to kill our countrymen?"
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.

Up popped Bin Laden, and plunged into his hiding hole,
"You'll never catch me alive!" cried he!
"Fine with us, you piece of crap!" said the Rangers as the charges blew.
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!
Hunting Bin Laden,
Hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.
"Fine with us, you piece of crap!" said the Rangers as the charges blew.
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!

Down came the mountainside upon Osama's hiding hole,
Down to the very bowels of Hell plunged he!
And the Rangers joked and sang as they headed for their landing zones,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!
Hunting Bin Laden,
Hunting Bin Laden,
You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me.................................

And the wails of ghosts are heard as the wind moans 'cross Afghanistan,
"You'll come a'hunting Bin Laden with me!"

Nice Job, Waltzin Matilda is one of my favorite all time songs. It was especially well done in the movie 'on the beach'.

To all us Yanks who forget how the tune goes, here's a link to a midi file that can play probably right from your browser and has a nice marching beat to it. If you want other styles, go here. Nice verses, though!

think we should get the children in our USofA to teach it to the Muslim children of Afghanistan?
