Tips from the gaggle

Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.

SING IT to the tune of Bill Bailey

Just bring the troops home, Georgie,
Just bring ’em home,
We cry the whole night long.
We’ve overstayed our welcome
They want us out,
Just like they did Sad-daaam.
*We know why you did it, Georgie,
That war for oil,
And we know that you were wrong.
We know you’re to blame, Georgie
You and your gang,
So Georgie, won’t you bring ’em home.

(kazoo first 6 lines)

We know why you did it, Georgie,
That war for oil,
And we know that you were wrong.
We know you’re to blame, Georgie,
You and your gang,
So Georgie, won’t you bring ‘ern
Georgie, won’t you bring ‘ern
Georgie won’t you bring ’em ho- ooome!

(lots of noise)
