The Sad But True Tale Of Old MacArthur - II

Old MacArthur had plenty o' time
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

So he drafted something called Article 9
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

He was classically conditioned
To do as he listened

And he loved sushi anyway.


Old MacArthur held the Japs in his sway
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

He could see their strict chopsticks thawing away
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

He gave them a Constitution
And a parliamentary institution

They were sick of General Sadao's baton anyway.


Old MacArthur was the new Oriental hero
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

Till North and South Korea had a row
(Ee-eye-eye-oh)

One was Red, the other was the Dollar
Mackie was shit-scared 'bout his own collar

These Communist dominoes were encroaching anyway.


Old MacArthur had itchy, rifle-quick hands
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

But Truman wouldn't give in to his trigger-happy demands
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

Mackie appealed to the American people
But Truman hung his ass from the Presidential steeple

He never liked the word SCAP anyway.


Old MacArthur was replaced with Ridgeway
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

The Japs watched with incredulity and dismay
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

They learnt their first Democratic lesson
Never mess with a Whitehouse summon

They knew militarism was unfashionable anyway.

(To be updated later)

Old MacArthur fussed and fumed
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

While Japan's cherry blossoms bloomed
(Ee-eye-ee-eye-oh)

Their GDP leapt and leapt some more
They soon began keeping international score

The white man was unburdened for the day.
