BETTY GOATY!
By Penguin

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty doh!]

I rule this country twenty-five years with sweat and tears
But then they find I dread, pressure me 'til I dead
But though mih ashes drop
You tell dem mih spirit still on top.

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I doing well. Is dem in Hell
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
Tell all dem cross, is dem who loss
Who I blank in mih lifetime, I blanking dem in death
Even if you name widow, nothing you wouldn't get
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I just watching and laughing, Ho, Ho, Ho!
[Betty Goaty doh!]

No more each morning, the same complaints 'bout lights and drains
No more the big headache, if ISCOTT going to make
No more racket to stop
And no more bobol to cover up.

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I doing well. Is dem in Hell
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
Tell all dem cross, is dem who loss
And now I free to travel and make mih foreign tours
Down here have no deputy to dig up in mih drawers
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I just watching and laughing, Ho, Ho, Ho!
[Betty Goaty doh!]

To build this nation I try mih best, end up in mess
Men I give rank and fame, do thing to make me shame
Pillage and rape the land
And leave me a sad, frustrated man...but

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I doing well. Is dem in Hell
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
Tell all dem cross, is dem who loss
You know how I was softy and 'fraid to give men jail
Well now I hope somebody lock up some of dem tail
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I just watching and laughing, Ho, Ho, Ho!
[Betty Goaty doh!]

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty doh!]

Down here the living is very nice, no greed, no vice
Is poker every day, classic music to play
Cha Cha hear 'bout the fun
And one time, they say he try to come.

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I doing well. Is dem in Hell
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
Tell all dem cross, is dem who loss
And although Mister Penguin use me in bacchanal
Is I who give him this tune to rule the Carnival
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
I just watching and laughing, Ho, Ho, Ho!
[Betty Goaty doh!]

[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]
[Betty Goaty! Betty Goaty!]

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Penguin! I can think of someone who might be expressing similar sentiments today.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
