CARACAS, Venezuela American singer and activist Harry Belafonte says President Bush is the "greatest tyrant" and "greatest terrorist in the world."

Belafonte's comments came during a trip to Venezuela. He led a delegation of Americans to meet Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez (OO'-goh CHAH'-vez). Actor Danny Glover and Princeton University scholar Cornel West were with him. They met with Chavez for more than six hours late Saturday.

Belafonte told Chavez that (m) millions of Americans support his revolution.

Belafonte is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador and has been outspoken in criticizing the U-S embargo of Cuba. He says U-S media have falsely painted Chavez as a dictator, countering that there is democracy in the country and that its citizens are optimistic about their future.

I always liked Belafonte's music, but now the guy's my idol. In honor of his comments, I've taken it upon myself to re-write the Banana Boat Song. Oh, and before anybody gets in an uproar about racism, remember that I'm white.

Hey, Mr. Bush man, suck on me banana
White man come and he take-a my home

White man come and he take-a my home
But we risin' up, like the mornin' sun
White man come...

Day-o, day-o
White man come..
Day-o, day-o

A stupid yanqui with a big black gun
White man come...
Get one too and shoot him in his bum
White man come...

Day-o etc...

Hey, Mr. Bush man, suck on me banana
White man come...
Hey, Mr. Bush man...
White man come...

I send big bag of pretzel, specially from me
White man come...
Then people of the world gwon be free
White man come...

Day-o etc...

Hey, Mr. Bush man... sing first stanza
