with apologies to Paul Simon
From Cliff Thies:
The problem is all inside Maghreb
She said to me
The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I'd like to help Libya in its struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To spell Gaddafi
She said it's really not our habit
To intrude
Furthermore, I hope our meaning
Won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To spell Gaddafi
Fifty ways to spell Gaddafi
Just hack out the “i”, Guy
Conclude with a “y”, Nye
Don't start with a “G”, Lee
Just listen to me
Start with “Q” “u”, Sue
Or don’t use the “u”, Fu
Or begin with a “K”, Trey
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so
To see Libya in such pain
I wish there was something we could do
To keep them from flying again
I said I appreciate that
And would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don't we both
Just turn it to the UN
And I believe in the morning
You'll begin to agree with me again
And then she kissed me
And I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways
To spell Gaddafi
Fifty ways to spell Gaddafi
Just hack out the “i”, Guy
Conclude with a “y”, Nye
Don't start with a “G”, Lee
Just listen to me
Start with “Q” “u”, Sue
Or don’t use the “u”, Fu
Or begin with a “K”, Trey
And get yourself free
