I heard Tim Minchin's "Peace Anthem for Palestine"
I thought it's an idea that is really worth tryin'
I picked up my guitar and jumped on board a ship
I'm gonna go busking on the Gaza Strip

I'll busk, everybody, I'll busk
I'm planning my peaceful trip
Going busking on the Gaza Strip

I found myself an Arab, and I found a Jew
I told each one "He don't eat pigs - neither do you
To not eat pigs together is something that you could try
I'm sure you'll get on like a house on fire"

I'll busk, everybody, I'll busk
I'm planning my peaceful trip
Going busking on the Gaza Strip


I met the head of Hamas, and I said to him, "Please..
Isn't that a paste you eat that's made from chick peas?"
He looked at me in silence, could have heard a pin fall
You see, they got no sense of humous at all

I'll busk, everybody, I'll busk
It wasn't worth trying that quip
Going busking on the Gaza Strip


The Al Qaeda Leader, he came up to me
Said "I know who the subject of the next verse'll be"
I said "Hey, Mr B-L, that's where you're wrong
Just for you, I got a whole damn song"

I'll busk, everybody, I'll busk
I really need to get a grip
Going busking on the Gaza Strip


Got everyone together there to make a deal
Sat 'em round the table for a slap-up meal
Peace there and globally was what was at stake
Serving crispy bacon was a big mistake

I'll busk, no more, buddy, I'll busk
So long, farewell, toodle-pip
No more busking on the Gaza Strip
