To "Tradition," from fiddler on the roof
(Music by Jerry Bock/
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

Partition.
partition.
partition!
Partition.
partition.
partition!
 
Who grew to see
their misery to be a
Key to guarantee a
Reborn Babylon?
And who now agree a
People should decree a
Panacea is Iran?
The Shi'a.
the Shi'a.
Partition!
The Shi'a.
the Shi'a.
Partition!
 
Who'd have shot
when Saddam thought it opportune:
A sole tycoon?
A whole saloon?
Who'd gavotte
and then garotte
a honeymoon?
But got the water running?
night and noon!
The Sunnis.
the Sunnis.
Partition!
The Sunnis.
the Sunnis.
Partition!
 
Who's counted third, but monitored.
Their word a fearsome power?
Once murdered.
who's now heard when stirred?
To gird.
not cower.
The Kurds.
the Kurds.
Partition!
The Kurds.
the Kurds.
Partition!
 
Who'll hiss and smite despite
The blight this does incite?
Remiss and in a fright.
Who might not quite unite?
The White House.
the White House.
Partition!
The White House.
the White House.
Partition!

Who grew to
see their
misery to be a
Key to
guarantee, a
Reborn
Babylon?
And who now
agree a
People should
decree a
Panacea is
Iran?

Who'd have
shot, when
Saddam thought
it opportune:
A sole tycoon?
A whole saloon?
Who'd gavotte
and then
garotte
a honeymoon?
But got the
water running
night and noon?

Who's counted
third, but
monitored.
Their word a
fearsome
power?
Once murdered,
who's now
heard when
stirred
To gird, not
cower?

Who'll hiss
and smite
despite
The blight
this does
incite?
Remiss and
in a fright.
Who might
not quite
unite?

The Shi'a!
The Sunnis!
The Kurds!
The White House!
Partition!
 
The Shi'a!
The Sunnis!
The Kurds!
The White House!
Partition!
 
Partition.
partition.
partition!
Partition.
partition.
partition!
