(Sheldon Harnick)
They're rioting in
Africa
They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs
rain.
The whole world is festering
With unhappy souls
The French hate the
Germans,
The Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate
the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much
But we can be grateful
And
thankful and proud
That man's been endowed
With a mushroom shaped cloud
And we
know for certain
That some happy day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all
be blown away
They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature
doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow man.
We think this was done
by the Kingston Trio back in the 60's.
Sad to say, much of it is still true
today
