The Merry Minuet (From the Album From the Hungry I) - The Kingston Trio

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 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

There’s strife in Iran

What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man
