1. Just Wait 'Til I Get Through With It
These are the laws of my administration
No one's allowed to smoke
Or tell a dirty joke
And whistling is forbidden...
If chewing gum is chewed
The chewer is pursued.
And in the hoosegow hidden...
If any form of pleasure is exhibited
Report to me and it will be prohibited.
I'll put my foot down, so shall it be.
This is the land of the free.

The last man nearly ruined this place
He didn't know what to do with it
If you think this country's bad off now
Just wait 'til I get through with it
The country's taxes must be fixed
And I know what to do with it
If you think you're paying too much now
Just wait 'til I get through with it...

I will not stand for anything that's crooked or unfair
I'm strictly on the up and up
So everyone beware
If anyone's caught taking graft
And I don't get my share
We stand 'em up against the wall
And pop goes the weasel.

If any man should come between her husband and his bride
We find out which one she prefers
By letting her decide
If she prefers the other man
The husband steps outside
We stand 'em up against the wall
And pop goes the weasel.

2. It's almost like he was being satirical...
Where are all our political satire movies today? I know the current admin seems like satire sometimes...

And don't forget "Freedonia's Going to War!"

THIS MEANS WAR !
THEN IT'S WAR !
THEN IT'S WAR !
GATHER THE FORCES !
HARNESS THE HORSES !
THEN IT'S WAR !
FREEDONIA'S GOING TO WAR
EACH SON WILL GRAB A GUN
AND RUN AWAY TO WAR
AT LAST WE'RE GOING TO
FEET WILL BEAT ALONG
THE STREET TO WAR
WE'RE GOING TO WAR
OUR COUNTRY'S GOING TO WAR
OUR COUNTRY'S GOING TO WAR
THE COUNTRY'S GOING TO WAR
WE'RE GOING TO WAR
THIS IS A FACT WE CAN'T IGNORE
WE'RE GOING TO WAR,
THIS IS A FACT WE CAN'T IGNORE
WE'RE GOING TO WAR
IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE THEY THINK WE'RE GOING TO WAR
I THINK THEY THINK WE'RE GOING TO WAR
WE'RE GOING TO WAR
GOING TO WAR
WE'RE GOING TO WAR
WE'RE GOING TO WAR
< Drums >
TO WAR, TO WAR
WE'RE FINALLY GOING TO WAR
HI-DE, HI-DE HI-DE, HI-DE HO
TO WAR, TO WAR TO WAR WE'RE GONNA GO
OH HI-DE, HI-DE HI-DE, HI-DE HO

:snip:

WE GOT GUNS, WE GOT GUNS
ALL GOD'S CHILDREN GOT GUNS
WE'RE GONNA WALK ALL OVER THE BATTLEFIELD
'CAUSE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN GOT GUNS
OH FREEDONIA
OH DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME
'CAUSE I'M COMING 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN
WITH A BANJO ON MY KNEE

:snip:

TO WAR, TO WAR
TO WAR WE'RE GONNA GO
TO WAR, TO WAR TO WAR
TO WAR, TO WAR
WE SOON WILL SAY GOOD-BYE
HOW WE'LL CRY FOR FIREFLY
IF FIREFLY SHOULD DIE
A MIGHTY MAN IS HE
A MAN OF BRAWN WHO'LL CARRY ON
'TIL DAWN OF VICTORY
WITH HIM TO LEAD THE WAY
OUR SPIRITS WILL NOT LAG
UNTIL THE JUDGMENT DAY
WE'LL RALLY 'ROUND THE FLAG
THE FLAG, THE FLAG
THE FLAG

"Well, I tella you what I think. I think we should have a standing army."

We're in a mess folks, we're in a mess! Rush to Freedonia! Three men and one woman are trapped in a building! Send help at once! If you can't send help, send two more women!"







"Make that three more women!"
