Gershwin: Of Thee I Sing / Let ’Em Eat Cake

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
I know a foul ball when I see one
I know the ball that's known as fair
So far as human eyes can guarantee one
The ball I saw was fair, I swear
[ENSEMBLE]
He knows a foul ball when he sees one
He knows the ball that's known as fair
[KRUGER]
Oh, if there ever was a crook, then he's one!
[GIRLS]
He's one
[SUPREME COURT]
The ball was foul
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
The ball was fair
[ARMY]
The ball was foul
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
The ball was fair
[ENSEMBLE]
Foul!
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Fair!
[ENSEMBLE]
Foul!
[THROTTLEBOTTOM, spoken]
Fair!
[KRUGER]
I say that he's a traitor indescribable
I say they gave him money and he's bribable
Besmirching all of us who feel we're Aryan
To kill him is an act humanitarian
[ENSEMBLE]
Yes, kill the umpire! Kill 'im!
With lead wе ought to fill 'im!
The son of a gun
Gave them thе run
So kill 'im, kill 'im, kill 'im!
[WINTERGREEN]
Order in the court! To me it would seem
That taking his life is a little extreme
