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 Iko Iko
My blockade trumps your blockade, sittin’ by the Strait
If you ignore my blockade I’m gonna send you to your fate.
chorus:
Talkin’ ’bout, Hey now! Hey now! Set your world on fire
Bomb your county into dust, wouldn’t that be dire?
Look at me, all dressed in gold, king of all I see.
I’m gonna blow up everyone who doesn’t o-bey me!
chorus
If he’s the king of everything, what will he inspire?
What will he have left to rule once he sets the world on fire?
chorus
