Ballad of the Shirtless Croatian Warrior
by Ivano Petrovic
[in broken English with Croatian accent] in 2 stanzas

My name Ivano.
Came to Brazil to watch Croatian football team.
On way to game, got lost in favela...
Bad news for favela. Good news for funeral business.
Not easy to choke man to death in favela AND smoke cigarette.
But doable.

Football game no good.
Mexicans chant "puto" at us Croatian fans.
Don't know if this is insult...
...but beat three men to death with program just in case.
Not easy to beat man to death with program AND smoke cigarette.
But doable.
Worst day at World Cup like best day in Balkan War.
