lyrics

There’s fear and there’s dread
On the road up ahead
And Mirages over the sea
While children at home
Sleep safely in bed
We’re marching on Tripoli
 
And it’s hi hi ho
And it’s hi hi he
We’re marching on Tripoli
And we’ll fill up the graves
With rebels and slaves
We’re marching on Tripoli
 
It’s a good day for war
So we’re marching once more
We’re marching on Tripoli
We’re on the attack
Just like in Iraq
And bringing democracy
 
And it’s hi hi ho
And it’s hi hi he
We’re marching on Tripoli
And we’ll fill up the graves
With rebels and slaves
We’re marching on Tripoli
 
From the south of Khartoum
To the ancient sand dunes
Along the North African shore
There’s rockets and blood
And death in the mud
From genocide, murder and war
 
And it’s hi hi ho
And it’s hi hi he
We’re marching on Tripoli
And we’ll fill up the graves
With rebels and slaves
We’re marching on Tripoli
 
There’s a dozen or more
Armed conflicts and wars
They’re going on endlessly
What’s one more or less
On the Dark Continent
We’re marching on Tripoli
 
And it’s hi hi ho
And it’s hi hi he
We’re marching on Tripoli
And we’ll fill up the graves
With rebels and slaves
We’re marching on Tripoli
 
In a few days or more
We’ll wrap up this war
That’s what they’ll tell us again
We’ll throw a parade
And the band will play
And someone will ask, “Did we win?”

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
