Once wise men came at Christmas � or so it's said.
The wise men came, 'To set us free.'
Or so they said.
They offered their, 'Democracy.'
Or so they said.
Next fell, from heaven, a deathly rain;
their gift of 'Shock and Awe.'
To demonstrate 'Democracy',
and show us what it's for.
Those Wise Men came � all bearing gifts;
or so they said.
'to end the Suni/Shiaite rifts,'
or so they said.
Their leader posed upon the deck
of a mighty aircraft carrier.
Above, to shield his guilty neck -
a giant Jump-Jet Harrier.
The wise men came, 'But not for long';
or so they said.
'Until they'd made our Nation strong.'
or so they said.
And still, this Christmas, standing proud,
on war-torn ravaged soil.
How odd, they never say aloud
That very small word -
'Oil.'
'Once wise men came at Christmas,'
or so it's said.
