Minstrels:
Bravely bold al-Sadr Rode forth from al-Najaf He was not afraid to die, oh Brave al-Sadr! He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways... Brave, brave, brave, brave al-Sadr!
He was not in the least bit scared to be bombed into a pulp, Or to have his brains shot out, and his elbows broken To have his kneecaps split and his body burnt away, And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave al-Sadr!
His head bashed in and his heart cut out, His liver removed and his bowels unplucked, His nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off, and his pe-
Sadr:
Erm... that's enough now, boys, there's dirty work afoot
(cut to scene of Sadr meeting Americans)
Minstrel:
Brave al-Sadr ran away... Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled, And brave al-Sadr turned about, And gallantly he chickened out -
Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat, Bravely, bravely, braaaaaave al-Sadr!
