A new one from Jesse Welles:

Temu Patton
In front of the American flag,
Saying you're all too damn gay.
Yeah, you're all too damn fat.
All the golden stars and the purple hearts looked dead,
As spray-on Napoleon Commander Casino said,

'Get ready, boys.
Look pretty.
We're goin into the city.'

We're Going to the City
