The Lyrics
When I was younger I studied The Arabic language and the religion of Islam, and so became quite adept at Islam themed parodies. This one has been buzzing around in my brain for years ......... Explanatory notes: "Medinan ayats: Ayat is the Arabic word for a verse in the Quran; the verses and Suras revealed in Medina are much more belligerent than the ones received in Mecca. The Ninth Sura contains the most pro-jihad verses of all .......... The Sura Al Mai'dan (The Table) is the one that contains the verse "If you kill one man, it is as if you have killed all of mankind ....."
Hezbollahi
Why dont you get up and do right
You've been acting like a Shi'ite .. for so long now
Oh, you're a crazed one
But I know you're seeking the Virgins
These things that are urging you
Can hurt folks somehow
Dont you pray Medinan Ayats, Boy
They will make you quite unstable
You know that Ninth Sura will always cause regret
Now it seems to me some fine words
Can be found in the verse, "The Table"
But you only read the ones that lead to death
Hezbollahi, Oh, you caused all that dyin'
But it ain't toppled Zion, new path you should choose
And jihad .. Oh, jihad
Well that's just mad mullahs talking
The Arabs are walking
To make peace with the Jews
Dont defeat get old in the Palestine
It seems old foes want to realign
It's hard to tell the Sunnis from the Jews
You're losing all your blast and burns
Aint if funny how your fellows turned .. the screw
Hezbollahi, why dont you come to your senses
Back off from contentious .. Offer the branch
You may be warrin', but there's a Blackhawk above you
You better let some Jarhead love you
(Let some Jarhead love you!!)
You better let some Jarhead love you
Before it's too late
Why dont you get up and do right
You've been acting like a Shi'ite .. for so long now
Oh, you're a crazed one
But I know you're seeking the Virgins
These things that are urging you
Can hurt folks somehow
Dont you pray Medinan Ayats, Boy
They will make you quite unstable
You know that Ninth Sura will always cause regret
Now it seems to me some fine words
Can be found in the verse, "The Table"
But you only read the ones that lead to death
Hezbollahi, Oh, you caused all that dyin'
But it ain't toppled Zion, new path you should choose
And jihad .. Oh, jihad
Well that's just mad mullahs talking
The Arabs are walking
To make peace with the Jews
Dont defeat get old in the Palestine
It seems old foes want to realign
It's hard to tell the Sunnis from the Jews
You're losing all your blast and burns
Aint if funny how your fellows turned .. the screw
Hezbollahi, why dont you come to your senses
Back off from contentious .. Offer the branch
You may be warrin', but there's a Blackhawk above you
You better let some Jarhead love you
(Let some Jarhead love you!!)
You better let some Jarhead love you
Before it's too late
Just a suggestion to newbies; If you're dealing with an obscure topic you can use the two Comments section to explain some things so that everyone gets in on the joke: For example, "Pray Medinan Ayats" is awfully close to "Lay the Queen of Diamonds" ...... but if you dont know what that means you wont understand what I was trying to do

Sounds like the reverse of the Jewish quotation, "Who saves one life, saves the world in whole". The reconciliation between Israel and the capitalist oriented Arab states is a story that deserves more recognition in the news media. But guess who would have to be given at least some of the credit?
