Where are the honest pirates when you need them? All we have is George Bush. Jean Lafitte could save us again at the Battle of New Orleans.

The American side of the battlefield where we fired our guns and the British kept a comin’. There wasn’t as many as there was a while ago. we fired once more and they began a runnin’. Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
