Kingston Trio Merry Minuet Lyrics

Merry Minuet Lyrics

The Merry Minuet
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 "thankfill" 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!
