The Kingston Trio Miscellaneous The Merry Minuet The Merry Minuet The Kingston Trio Words and Music by Sheldon Harnick -From their 1959 LP "From the Hungry" They’re rioting in Africa (whistling) They’re starving in Spain (whistling) There’s hurricanes in Flo-ri-da (whistling) 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 tranquil and thankful and proud For man’s been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud And we know for certain that some lovely day Someone will set the spark off AND WE WILL ALL BE BLOWN AWAY!! They’re rioting in Africa (whistling) There’s strife in Iran What nature doesn’t so to us Will be done by our fellow *man*--- Transcribed by Ronald E. Hontz ronhontz@worldnet.att.net |
