The Kingston Trio - The Merry Minuet lyrics



The Merry Minuet
The Kingston Trio
Words and Music by Sheldon Harnick

-From their 1959 LP "From the Hungry"

Theyre rioting in Africa (whistling)
Theyre starving in Spain (whistling)
Theres 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 DONT LIKE ANYBODY VERY MUCH!!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For mans 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!!

Theyre rioting in Africa (whistling)
Theres strife in Iran
What nature doesnt so to us
Will be done by our fellow *man*---
