Lyrics The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio

Merry Minuet

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
