Body lines

 Did you eye it, or did you leg it?

And was it legit, when you elbowed in

You may shoulder the blame

I can't believe you have the gall

To look at me at all

Not with all that spleen of shame

And why did you knee him in the balls

I'm sure it took some of them

Could you not have used your loaf

And headed him instead

It was me who footed the bill Fred

Was it you who fingered me to the cops

Or Pops, were you top of the tree crops

Missing the missiles, miles from home

Homing in like a pigeon, to the only

Loving garden gnome

Who stands awaiting Satan to turn up with Adam's bone

But yes I said to Saddam, it was like a bullet to the brain
