Ok, ok, time for a little levity. This song's for Babs and Jenna...

[KansDem]

I thought considering the high level of stress and anxiety experienced of late on DU regarding the...well, you know, that I'd compose this little ditty for a little levity. I hope you enjoy it!

"Come to the FUBAR in Iraq"
(sung to the tune "Cabaret")

What good is sitting alone in your room,
Or at the nearest bar.
Come to the FUBAR in Iraq,
Come to your daddy’s war.

Hundreds of thousands have died or are maimed,
But don’t watch it from afar,
Come to the FUBAR in Iraq,
Come to your daddy’s war.

Come hear the screams,
Of orphaned kids,
And wonder why there’s so much hatin’
Right this way your HumVee’s waitin’!

So grab a rifle, a helmet and pack,
It’s really not that far!
You daddy lied so we’d attack,
And do the bidding of PNAC
Come to the FUBAR in Iraq,
Come to your daddy’s war!

3. Hey, but I'd like some love for my latest attempt also!

In response to the thread wondering whether hard-working Fitzgerald and his team have heard of "Fitzmas"--
"Do They Know It's Fitzmas?(For Fitzgerald's Team)"

It's Fitzmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Fitzmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Fitzmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Fitzmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world inside their office
Flourescents' artificial pall
Where the only water flowing is in the cooler down the hall
And the Fitzmas bells that ring there are their buzzing blackberries
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of me -

And there won't be joy in cubicles this Fitzmastime
The greatest gift they'll get's their puny check
(G-Men lawyers' pay's so low
Pirvate-firm guys laugh, you know)
So do they know it's Fitzmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for Fitzgerald's Team
(Here's to them) working nights while others dream
Do they know it's Fitzmastime at all?

Spread the word, Spread the word, Spread the Word -
Let them know it's Fitzmastime again!
