(To the tune of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah*)

HAAAA-liburton!  HAAAA-liburton!
Halliburton! Halliburton!
Hal-li-i-bur-ur-ton!
(repeats)

For the Almighty Dollar reigneth!
Halliburton! Halliburton!
No-bid contracts! Halliburton!
The kingdoms of the  world
become the Empire of our George,
and of his Veep, and of his Veep!

And he’ll be paid for ever and eh-ever!
Thirty-four Mill!  For Retiring!**
What a pension! Halliburton!
The Prince of Pork,***  and Lord of Lard!
And He’ll be paid for ever and eh-ever!
Halliburton! Halliburton!
HAAAAL-LIIIII-BUUURRRRRR - TOONNNNNN!!!

*** Handel uses "Prince of Peace" elsewhere in Messiah .  "Prince of Pork" is the mass market version; the hard core version is "Prince of Pigs", which scans a little better.
