West Side Story - Gee, Officer Krupke Lyrics
Gee, Officer Krupke!
Music: Leonard Bernstein/Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim

RIFF:
Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke,
You gotta understand,
It's just our bringing up-ke
That get us out of hand.
Our mothers all are junkies,
Our fathers all are drunks,
Golly Moses, natcherly we're punks!

RIFF and QUARTET:
Gee. Officer Krupke, we're very upset;
We never had the love that every child oughta get
We ain't no delinquents,
We're misunderstood,
Deep down inside us there is good!

RIFF:
There is good!

ALL:
There is good, there is good,
There's an tapped good,
Like inside, the worst of us is good.

SNOWBOY(imitating Krupke):
That's a touchin' good story!

ACTION: Lemme tell you to the world!

SNOWBOY ("Krupke"):
Just tell it to the judge!

RIFF(to "Judge"):
Dear kindly Judge, your Honor,
My parents treat me rough,
With all the marijuana,
They won't give me a puff.
They didn't wanna have me,
But somehow I was had.
Leapin' lizards, that's why I'm so bad!

DIESEL ("Judge"):
Officer Krupke, you're really a square;
This boy don't need a judge, he needs an
analyst's care!
It's just his neurosis that oughta be curbed.
He's psychologic'ly disturbed!

RIFF:
I'm disturbed!

ALL:
We're disturbed. we're disturbed,
We're the most disturbed,
Like we're psychologic'ly disturbed.

DIESEL ("Judge"):
In the opinion of this court, this child is
depraved on account
he ain't had a normal home.

RIFF: Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived!

Sorry Ironjack, but who are you calling WE. WE didnt do any damage , I am not in New Orleans shooting at police or looting. WE didnt collapse beneath this thing, New Orleans lower level of citizens are to blame.

WE are doing all WE can to help.
WE are taking people into our cities even after many of them showed they couldnt behave like humans at the Super Dome.
WE are sending all the help WE can muster to help people who dont seem to be deserving of a lot of help.
You say it isnt OUR finest hour, I say when WE have watched how many in this city have behaved and still WE help them perhaps it is OUR finest hour. It is certainly not a day when I would want to be called a resident of New Orleans the Sodom on the Mississippi.

"RXACTLY!

It is a depraved city."

There is plenty of depravity to go around, coast to coast and border to border...including your area too.

If the shoe fits, wear it. I hate to say it, but this administration made a mistake and has admitted as such. That said, primary responsibility for order in NO is in the hands of the Mayor - and he is worse than worthless.

I am sure the mayor and the governor sleep well, unburdened as they are by the possession of a conscience.

I have to agree with you. What is happening in NO is NOT a national disgrace. The people of NO have disgraced themselves. Plenty of other cities have suffered in this hurricane - Biloxi to name one. You don't read reports of looting from there do you?

...........

The reason we don't read or hear about other Katrina disaster areas are due to their smaller populations. Less population , less looters, less violence, less reporting, etc. The ravenous MSM vulture media will only send their reporters to areas most populated guaranteeing them the most sensationalistic meat to ravage. N.O. is(was) largely populated. The world knows where and what N.O. is, since it's been the souths biggest tourist attraction for decades. Still, it isn't "the nations" disgrace.

Well said. I too have beans, bandages and bullets ready. More Americans need to think that way.

Yes, it does, BTW, I asked the Mod to delete my post #45 for my gross stupidity in posting it. I'm glad you did get to see it before I asked him to pull it.

Is there a reason you have posted the same question 14 different times?

I'd like to know too.

"Has anyone heard if the CANNABILISM...

One of the dirty little secrets of present day Africa that no one wants to talk or write about is that cannibalism is still widely practiced throughout sub-Saharan Africa.

The collective decency ratio was lowered by the evacuation of the decent portion of society. What was left was the indigent poor, the criminals and the government workers. Hardly a recipe for stability and order.

I'm not sure you did get it. But that's OK, you don't have to.

Others do.
