New Song

Hey Folks,

Just wrote this, and I'll try to sing it tonight at Little Brothers.
See you there !!!

- Uke Man



.....Sunshine Soldier.....

Just another sunny day in Baghdad,
Just another sunny day in Baghdad,
Just mowing the sand and slowly goin’ mad
It’s another sunny day in Baghdad,

Sunni and Shii
say “Hello GI.
We’ve got a cell phone call for you.”


Billy goes for a ride then all his buddies died –
When that cell phone call came through -
Just another local call in Baghdad.

--------But everything’s OK
--------In our sand-trap USA
--------Yes, sir!! The sun shines every day.
--------It’s always a sunny day
--------in Baghdad,


From his stretcher Billy cried
For all his friends who had died,
And he clouded up with tears, it’s true.

But in the end - you know the drill, my friend
In Baghdad
The sun always breaks through.

--------And everything’s OK
--------In our make-shift USA
--------Yes, sir!! The sun shines every day.
--------It’s always a sunny day
--------in Baghdad,

Billy pulled R&R in Germany
But I don’t think he’ll be writin’ me
He left both his hands behind, you see.
On that sunny day in Baghdad.

And our leaders swear it’s true
That we must do what we must do –
And they know much more than Billy, me, and you;
They’ve spent a sunny day in Baghdad.

--------And everything’s OK
--------In our Iraqi USA
--------Just mowing sand and slowly goin’ mad.
--------Wrote to Billy yesterday
--------Didn’t have too much to say
--------Just “It’s another sunny day in Baghdad.”

It’s always a sunny day in Bagdad
