THE SHIITES AND THE SUNIS SHOULD BE FRIENDS
to the tune of The Farmers and the Cowmen Should be Friends, from Oklahoma

Message 18889154

Oh, The Shiites and the Sunis should be friends,
Oh, The Shiites and the Sunis should be friends,
One sect likes to flog their backs,
The other likes to rule Iraq,
But that’s no reason they cain’t be friends

Arabs of Iraq should stick together ,
Arabs of Iraq should all be pals,
Sunis dance with the Shiites’ daughters,
Shiites’ dance with the Sunis’ gals

ALI:
I’d like to say a word for the Sunis,

MOHAMMED:
Well, say it, infidel!

ALI:
He makes up less than half the population

MAHMUD:
That’s right!

ALI:
They’ve done most of the country’s innovating

MOHAMMED:
When they’re not killing us or busy mating

Oh, The Shiites and the Sunis should be friends,
Oh, The Shiites and the Sunis should be friends,
The Shiites gave us holy men,
And Sunis chased them to Iran,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends

MOHAMMED :
I’d like to say a word for the Shiites,
We’ve got the most and best of ayatollahs,
They’ll kick out all the Yanks and rule the country,

ALI:
You won’t cause we’ll keep out those big assholas!

Arabs of Iraq should stick together ,
Arabs of Iraq should all be pals,
Sunis dance with the Shiites’ daughters,
Shiite’s dance with the Sunis’ gals

ALI:
And when a government is finally founded,
We’ll all agree the others won’t be slurred,
Instead we’ll come together in our hatred,
Of Jews and those non-Arab scum the Kurd

Arabs of Iraq should stick together ,
Arabs of Iraq should all be pals,
Sunis dance with the Shiites’ daughters,
Shiite’s dance with the Sunis’ gals

Oh, The Shiites and the Sunis should be friends,
Oh, The Shiites and the Sunis should be friends,
They’ve fought themselves for eighty years,
Each side thinks that the other’s queer,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends,

Arabs of Iraq should stick together ,
Arabs of Iraq should all be pals,
Sunis dance with the Shiites’ daughters,
Shiite’s dance with the Sunis’ gals
