Lyrics

The general scratches his belly, and thinks
His pay is good, but his officers stink
Guerrilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The President looks in the mirror, and speaks
His shirts are clean, but his country reeks
Unpaid bills
Afghanistan hills
Bombs away
But we're okay
Bombs away
In old Bombay
The general only wants to teach France to dance
His army life don't give him any romance
Guerrilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
The general scratches his belly, and thinks
His pay is good, but his company stinks
Guerrilla girl, hard and sweet
A military man would love to meet
Bombs away
But we're okay
Bombs away
In old Bombay
Bombs away
But we're okay
Bombs away
In old Bombay
Bombs away
But we're okay
Bombs away
In old Bombay
Bombs away
But we're okay
Bombs away
