Tikrit Bitter


 

Transcript from the video broadcast on Al-Arabiya television

You can get it readin' the Koran
You can get it loadin' the van
You can even get it improvin' your tan
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer
And the best cold beer is TIK
A LONG COLD TIK

You can get it speakin' 'Strine
You can get it drinkin' a foine droi whoite woine
You can even get it mispronouncin' Palesteine
AN ICE COLD TIK

You can get it prayin'
You can get it slayin'
You can get it any old how
Matter o' fact, I got it now
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer
And the best cold beer is TIK
TIKRIT BITTER

next terrorist suspect turns out to be a white Aussie male ("Queries over
al-Qaeda film", Herald, August 12). Go figure, eh.
