[On Enhanced Interrogation]

 Guantanamo! 

To "Camelot"

(Words by Alan Jay Lerner

Music by Frederick Loewe)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

Arranged by Greg Hilfman

IT'S TRUE! 
IT'S TRUE!
THEY LIVE TO EVIL-DO!
AND DISASSEMBLE COOLLY, 
THROUGH AND THROUGH! 
 
THE LAWS EMERGIN' AFTER 9/11
WERE DRAWN TO SHOW EACH TERRORISTIC FOE:
INSTEAD OF ANY VIRGIN UP IN HEAVEN...
GUANTANAMO! 
 
A JAIL TO NAIL THE RABBLE BABYLONIC.
TO ROUND THEM UP AND NEVER LET THEM GO.
TRIBUNALS, TOO. 
IN CUBA. 
SO IRONIC.
GUANTANAMO! 
 
GUANTANAMO! 
GUANTANAMO!
WORLDWIDE DERIDERS SAY IT'S STRANGE.
GUANTANAMO! 
GUANTANAMO!
BUT SUICIDERS MADE US CHANGE. 
 
GENEVA HAS CONVENTIONS. 
BUT THOSE SWISSIES.
JUST SISSIES WHO STASH 
OTHER PEOPLE'S CASH.
AND SPURN THE OVERFLOW
YOU LEARN WHEN YOU CAN THROW
SOME DAMN ISLAMO-FASCIST CLASHIST
IN GUANTANAMO. 
 
[MUSICAL INTERLUDE] 
 
GUANTANAMO! 
GUANTANAMO!
AS LONG AS JUSTICE MUST BE BROUGHT:
GUANTANAMO! 
GUANTANAMO!
A CAMEL CAMELOT. 
 
IF ALLAH CALLED UP JESUS AT HIS OFFICE.
SAID: "PAL, 
YOUR BOYS ARE MESSIN' UP OUR TRUCE."
OH, JESUS SURE WOULD BLOW
A VALVE AND SALVO: 
"YO!
LET'S GOOSE THE JUICE! 
PRODUCE THE NOOSE!"
IN GUANTANAMO!
