CHEMICAL ALI (sung to the tune of "Black Superman" by Johnny Wakelin and The Kinshasa Band)
"Black Superman" was a hit on the radio in the mid-1970s, when Muhammad Ali ruled the boxing ring. The tune was a neat and a corny song at the same time. So when a certain official of Saddam's Ba'ath Party was recently captured in the aftermath of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I thought it was time to "pay tribute" to someone who will go down in history alongside Dr. Josef Mengele.


This is about Ali Hassan al-Majid
He once was known as Chemical Ali
He knew how to intimidate but forgot how to flee
And so we captured him in two thousand three

Refrain
Sing Chemical, Chemical Ali
The gas floats like butterflies and stings like a bee
Chemical, Saddam’s gassin’ man
Who calls to Kofi Annan I'm Ali catch me if you can

Now all you war fans, you've got to agree
There’s no such scruples with Chemical Ali
He fills the jails wherever he goes
And Ba’athists get what they paid for

Chemical was known to have said
Kurds are revolting so I'll choke 'em till dead
He becomes Saddam’s gassin’ man
And calls to Iranians I'm Ali catch me if you can

He thought he was the greatest the world’s ever seen
Then came the willing who turned his face green
His face was so pretty on the deck of cards
Which proved he was with the Ba’ath Party by far

Sing Chemical, Chemical Ali
The gas floats like butterflies and stings like a bee
Chemical, Saddam’s gassin’ man
Who calls to George W. I'm Ali catch me if you can

Sing Chemical, Chemical Ali
The gas floats like butterflies and stings like a bee
Chemical, Saddam’s gassin’ man
Who calls to Mr. Tony Blair I'm Ali catch me if you can

(Coalition Soldiers)
You’re Ali...gotcha now you’re DEAD!
