We Won!

I was so very heartened to hear Secretary of State Marco Rubio announce from the White House podium yesterday that the US has won Donald Trump's war with Iran. I was inspired to write these lyrics in celebration.

To be sung to the tune of When Johnny Comes Marching Home, a popular American Civil War song published in 1863, written by Irish-American bandmaster, Patrick Gilmore.

When Johnny comes marching home again,

Hurrah! hurrah!

Marco says that we’ve won the war,

Hurrah! hurrah!

Our gas costs more than twice the price,

The Strait's still stuck and my advice is to JAIL THE DON,

When Johnny comes marching home.

When Johnny comes marching home again,

Hurrah! hurrah!

He went to war without a plan,

Hurrah! hurrah!

He followed Bibi down a hole, he says he’s Christ but has no soul, and HE NEEDS TO GO

When Johnny comes marching home.

When Johnny comes marching home again,

Hurrah! hurrah!

He hired all the Fox News fools,

Hurrah! hurrah!

But Pete’s a drunk and Kash, a creep, Pam Bondi’s gone but we can’t sleep, cause IT'S ALL STILL NUTS,

When Johnny comes marching home.

When Johnny Come’s marching home again,

Hurrah! hurrah!

All our costs are going up,

Hurrah! hurrah!

From pills to food from gas to care we tell the Hill but they run scared but NOVEMBER'S WHERE,

Our voting comes marching home.

So raise your voice and fight the fight,

Hurrah! hurrah!

Our country hopes you’ll rise from fright,

Hurrah! hurrah!

Your vote’s the key to turn the tide, the time is now to choose a side and we’ll THROW THEM OUT,

When Johnny comes marching home.

And we'll THROW THEM OUT,

When Johnny comes marching home
