London's Blair Was All We Found
(Sung to the Tune of London Bridges)
Coalition has fallen down,
Fallen down; it broke down.
Coalition has fallen down,
Our burden's heavy.
Spanish troops have left town,
They left town, fled the town.
Spanish troops have left town,
Followed by Italians.
How will we now stand it up,
Build it up, prop it up?
How will we stand Iraqis up,
My fair country?
Taxpayer gold, Silver and gold.
Build up Iraq with taxpayer gold,
My foolish country.
Gold and silver we have none,
It's all gone, we have none.
We gave it all to the richest one,
My poor country.
William's Whimsical Words:
So, tell me again why we put up with it.
