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 On the Sunny Side of the Street
Get your tanks and armor plate,
Get your body armor on now.
Vict’ry became defeat
On the Sunni side of the street.
In Fallujah, wasted them all,
Cleared them out and showed our power.
They skipped not a beat
On the Sunni side of the street.
They’ve got bombs, every road,
Got their men everywhere.
We’ve got trucks–they explode
While we spin—hot air.
Get out now!
We can’t win.
We lost when we got in.
Can’t stand on our feet
On the Sunni side of the—
Shia side of the–
Occupied side of the street!
