They came to us out of the blue
And they took us all by surprise
They took our houses and they took our jobs
They took all our supplies
They got us where were were weak
They hit us with all of their might
We were too distracted to see
Or bother to put up a fight
They came, they saw and they conquered us all
And they acted fairly benign
Almost like we were all friends
They said that they could help us out
We never got what that portends
They gave us ice cream and cake
And we grew fat and frail
They blew down our straw house
And stepped on our piggy tail
