Marching To Baghdad

(Sung to the tune of "Marching Through Georgia)

Bring the good old bugle, boys! We'll sing another song.
Sing it with a spirit that will start the world a long,
Sing is as we used to sing it,fifty thousand strong,
While we were marching to Baghdad!
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Basra to the sea,
While we were marching to Baghdad.

How the Shi'ites shouted when they heard the joyful sound!
How the reporters ogled when they saw what we had found!
How the reluctant allies even breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching to Baghdad.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Basra to the sea,
While we were marching to Baghdad.

Yes, and there were Iraqi men who wept with joyful tears
When they saw the honor'd flag they had not seen in years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching to Baghdad.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Basra to the sea,
While we were marching to Baghdad.

Tommy Frank's dashing Yankee boys will never reach the coast
So the Republican Guard said, and 'twas a handome boast.
Had they not forgot, alas! to reckon with the host,
While we were marching to Baghdad.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We bring the Jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Basra to the sea,
While we were marching to Baghdad.

So we made a thoroughfare for Freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main.
Saddam fled before us, for resistance was in vain.
While we were marching to Baghdad!

Couldn't resist.

Huzzah!! I was just thinking of this song last night when they said the March to Bagdhad had begun. Great job!!

[WhiskeyPapa]

It really is fitting. :)

There's a lot (a majority) of Southern boys in each of those divisions rolling through Iraq. I'm not sure "Marching Through Georgia" would be a the top of their list ;)

Yeah, well. I didn't have any lyrics for "Gators suck."
