Gotta have Canada
for secure northern border
Gotta have Greenland
to protect Canada
Gotta have Iceland
to protect Greenland
Gotta have Britain
to protect Iceland
Gotta have France
to protect Britain
Gotta have Germany
(plus Spain and Italy)
to protect France
No need for Ireland
or Portugal,
but they are there,
what the hell after all
Gotta have Poland
to protect Germany
(Austria, Hungry,
Baltics, Balkans as well)
Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Finland
Maybe, Romania,
so hard to tell)
Switzerland
I'll need for the banks
Holding the money
I'm given in thanks
Belgium, Netherlands, Liechtenstein,
fill the gaps betwixt and between
Monaco's casino
I gotta grab it
Don’t really need it,
but it’s a habit
San Marino, Andorra,
Vatican City
Leaving them there
would be a pity
Greece, Turkey,
Israel, Jordan
Syria’s wearying
but I'd like Lebanon
Iraq for the sake of old times
Ethiopia, Egypt,
Sudan, Somalia,
the Gulf States, Yemen
Saudi Arabia
all need protection
I’ll be their savior
North African coast states
swimming in oil
mine by rights, one and all
Don't want Iran
or Afghanistan,
but Alexander had ’em
so I guess I can
Armenia, Georgia —
those misplaced votes
(if Vlad will permit me)
And, of course,
the west hemisphere
Then Indo-Pacific
HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?
