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 Let It Snow

Oh, the reign of Hussein was frightful
But the oil is so delightful
That as long as we’ve got the force
Stay the course, stay the course stay the course!

Oh, insurgency isn’t stopping
And approval rates keep dropping
But as long as we’ve got the force
Stay the course, stay the course, stay the course!

Well, we brought in our fav’rite firms
And proclaimed that Iraqis are free
Since they don’t seem to like our terms
Crush them until they agree

Oh, the lies we’ve told are showing
And suspicions here keep growing
So we’ve gotta apply more force
Stay the course, stay the course, stay the course!
