For a year or two
At the university of Sudan
Then I crossed the sea
To get my P.H.D.
To come to the promised land
I could tell I was fucked
When the flight really sucked
But I made it through the first trip
So I went to try
For my connector flight
But damn did I ever get jipped.
They said that I had just been
Selected for a random screen
"Go fuck yourself," I screamed
"Go fuck yourself," I screamed
It's a holiday in Laguardia
They just pulled me off of my flight
It's a holiday in Laguardia
Now I'll be stuck here all night
So I was dragged away
By the C.I.A.
To the airport's interrogation room
Called me a terr'ist
Cause I spoke with a lisp
Said that foreign accents spell doom
So I said to him,
"Hey listen up jack,
You have got this thing all wrong,
I've no turban
I've no gun
I don't even practice Islam"
He said
"Now, you can go where we'll be watching you
Now you can go where everyone hates you too
Yes, that's right, you're screwed
Yes, that's right, you're screwed"
It's a Holiday in Guantanamo
Where you won't find a shred of hope
A Holiday in Guantanamo
Don't even think about dropping the soap

I was playing Holiday in Cambodia on Guitar Hero the other day and the line "It's a holiday in Laguardia" just popped into my head. Then I saw this contest today and decided to elaborate on my original idea for the parody. If by chance you've never heard the song. The original lyrics are here:

And you can hear the song itself on Youtube at:

If the cussing is too much let me know and I can re-edit it. I didn't see any rules against it though so I figured it was alright.
