david lampell - i ran iran lyrics

i ran
you ran
he ran
i ran

[verse 1]
aya-tollah you once, aya-tollah you twice
you better not mess with me
you have the shah, iran’s got you
i’m the big man khomeini
i’ve been here since time began, time is on my side
and all your planes and battleships can’t deal with suicide
if you think i’m playing games with you just look into my eyes
i didn’t throw that turkey out by making compromise
carter’s talking tough right now but he really should thank me
i’ve got the press off his back, i’ve shut up kennedy
i’ve even helped myself out with my super, duper plan
i’ve tricked my opposition and i’ve thrown out spies again
carter, shahanshah, khomeini
the baddest little c-ck fight iran will ever see

i ran
you ran
he ran
i ran

[verse 2]
who you messin’ with? i’d like to know
we ain’t no box of cheerios
this country here ain’t playin’ around
we’re madder than a bulldog hound
now the president, the president
the whitehouse is my residence
where i come from they make ’em mean
a country born like you never seen
you bit off more than you can chew
and we’re nowhere near quite through with you
but i’ll tell you something you should know
before i let my marines go
now shahanshah means a lot to us
he can come and go, there ain’t no [?]
nixon, he’s been speaking out
but hansen, he ain’t got no clout
and rocky, there’s a name you’ll know
henry’s cool is gonna blow
we’ve got too much at stake you see
and we’ve got no use for khomeini
this peanut here is too tough to crack
my planters [?] will slap your back
there’s one thing you don’t realize
all emb-ssies are filled with spies
don’t know why you picked on us
but pay you will in god we trust

i ran
you ran
he ran
i ran

[verse 3]
the phone woke me up just the other day
the shah called me up, he had something to say
“i’ve been up, down, all around
just listen to me boy don’t make no sound
why y’all treatin’ me so mean
i’m the baddest shah you’ve ever seen
there’s some folks here i’d like to thank
all my money’s inside their bank
i’m on vacation from iran
i’m the baddest shah since kubla khan
i’ve got nine lives and ten to go
from panama to mexico
you haven’t heard the last of me
one i get freedom from khomeini”
then i heard a cl!ck, the shah was gone
but the operator, she came back on
she said “i hope you like the shahanshah’s line
he just cost you 50 cents in overtime”
that’s okay, it’s no big amount
he’s got billions in his bank account

i ran
you ran
he ran
i ran

[verse 4]
poor kennedy, he can’t get no play
brother jimmy stole the show away
he’d like iran to go away
but there’s only so much he can say
it seemed so, so easy once
with jimmy’s folks all out to lunch
but the ayatollah’s been crackin’ down
and jimmy’s the baddest dude in town
teddy called the shah a crook you see
and he got some praise from khomeini
but that support don’t make a dent
’cause he can’t vote for president
now if i were him i wouldn’t care a l!ck
just as long as they don’t bring up chappaquidd-ck
no one’s talkin’ about mary jo
and there’s so much more we need to know
new hampshire’s still a ways away
so you still got another day
so keep your faith and don’t feel low
this iran thing is gonna blow

i ran
you ran
he ran
i ran
