To the tune of "Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly"
Apologies to Thomas Oliphant
Deck the board with fleets and armies.
We are gonna play Diplomacy.
Normal people think we're barmy.
We will prove you wrong, just wait and see.
Just for fun we'll stab our neighbours,
And we'll howl with rage when they stab us.
Revenge has got a nice flavour.
Wait a minute where are all my dots?
Get your units off of my land!
I'm the one who should be stomping you!
This is what I don't understand:
Even though I lose, I want to play.
