Yee Haw!
Look at him go
Look at that sonabitch go!
There is a boy named Junior
Playing Uncle Sam
Got a master plan
Like Vietnam
Don't give a good goddamn about Saddam
Gonna drink his oil right out the can
Look at him go
Throwing cash around like it's made of dirt
God made dirt and dirt don't hurt
Gets that monkey on the back of his shirt
Once that 10-40 starts to spurt
Look at him go
Quite an interesting situation you all have there
I'm not sure if he's mad
Or slightly off center
It's amusing from my perspective
In sort of a frightening way
Look at him go
Now if you give him half a chance
He'll surely impress you with his dance
Maybe even reach on down in your pants
Give you some greasy ol' romance
Look at him go
Look at him go
Look at that sonabitch go!
Playing Uncle Sam
Got a master plan
Like Vietnam
Don't give a good goddamn about Saddam
Gonna drink his oil right out the can
Look at him go
God made dirt and dirt don't hurt
Gets that monkey on the back of his shirt
Once that 10-40 starts to spurt
Look at him go
I'm not sure if he's mad
Or slightly off center
It's amusing from my perspective
In sort of a frightening way
Look at him go
He'll surely impress you with his dance
Maybe even reach on down in your pants
Give you some greasy ol' romance
Look at him go

This song is obviously about the Bush administration, as was mentioned on www.c2b3.com . The "yee haw" obviously shows his southern background, and the first verse talks about what he was doing around the time that the U.S. invaded Iraq,which Les says was a difficult topic to avoid writing about.
The second verse most likely speaks of his unwise use of U.S. funding. And maybe it compares him to a monkey and is 10-40 a form of oil? It sounds like one of the numbers labeling the viscosity, I can't be totally sure though.
The third verse is pretty much how he is funny because he isn't the smartest of fellows.
Does the end of the song make a mockery of his anti-homo-sexual views?
I'm really not sure but this is just what it means to me, so don't be like "you must be PINK adam because you'e queer and you're so fucking WRONG!"
Just my interpretation, ladies and germs.
Two things: First; yes, 10-40 is a viscosity rating of oil. Second; "You must be pink adam, because you're (in my opinion) ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about what this song is trying to convey. Yay, you!
