It's Debacle
(Sung to the tune "It's De-Lovely")

The war was young, the end seemed near,
   and we were stupidly credulous, dear,
To de Bush, to de bunk, to debacle.

Who'd have believed the White House lied
   by claiming they'd love to be occupied?
That's de Bush, that's de bunk, that's debacle.

We were told in advance
   they won't fight this chance circumstance –
That we'd hear their Ayatollahs
   murmuring low, "Go with the flow."

So as we retreat, give back sov'reignty,
   and deny defeat, please repeat with me:
"It's deplorable, it's di-sas-tar-ous, it's detestable,
It's despicable, it's devious, it's deceitful,
It's de Bush, it's de bunk, it's debacle."
