Bye Bye, Bybee
Bye Bye, Bybee
Jay Bybee is the notorious author of the torture memo that the Bush Administration used to justify harsh treatment of prisoners. Here are new lyrics for the song Bye Bye, Birdie that Ann-Margret sang for the 1963 movie by the same name.
| Original lyrics | New Lyrics (by Don Smith) |

| Bye, bye, Birdie The Army’s got you now I’ll try, Birdie To forget some how |
Bye, bye, Bybee Such death and suffering! You’re sly, Bybee You evil torture king! |
| No more sighing Each time you move those lips No more dying When you twich those hips |
No more crying Each time they waterboard. No more dying When torture goes too far. |
| Your swivel and your sway Your super-duper class There’s nothing left to say But Conrad, you’re a gas |
From Abu-grahib To Guantánamo You left a trail of pain. Hey Bybee, you’re a shame! |
| Bye, bye, Birdie Ta-ta, ol’ sweetie-pie Bye, bye, Birdie Time for me to fly Time for me to fly Time to say goodbye Bye now! |
Bye bye, Bybee Ta-ta, you torture king. Bye bye, Bybee Time for you to fly Time for you to fly Hang your head and cry. Bye now! |
