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 thankful and tranquil and proud
for mans been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud
and we know for certain that some lucky day
someone will set the spark off
AND WE WILL ALL BE BLOW AWAY!
(LOVE that song...hee hee)
You did indeed read my mind! I too love The Kingston Trio! The lyrics of this song are fitting for any time in the Atomic Age History.
