Union Square Lyrics by David Garrison, New York Choral Artists

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

0

[ENSEMBLE]
Our hearts are in communion
When we gather down on Union
Square, heigh-ho
When whiskers are unshaven
One can always find a haven
There, heigh-ho
Though some may prefer the charming Bronnix
Though some sing of dainty Sutton Place
'Tis here we discover all the tonics
That cure all the problems of the race
Oh, on boxes they put soap in
How we love it in the open
Air, heigh-ho
We may not fill our stomachs
But we're full of еconomics
Down on Union Square
Down here on Union Squarе
[KRUGER]
Conditions as they are
Cannot go very far
The world must move and I am here to move it
The brotherhood of man
Is crying for a plan
So here's my plan—I know you can't improve it
[MEN]
Conditions as they are
Cannot go very far
So listen to his plan for man
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
[KRUGER]
Down with one and one make two
Down with everything in view
Down with all majorities
Likewise all minorities
Down with you and you and you
[ENSEMBLE]
Down with one and two make three
Down with all of us says he
[KRUGER]
Somehow I abominate
Everything you nominate
[MEN]
Everything from A, B, C to X, Y, Z
[KRUGER]
That's the torch we're going to get the flame from
If you don't like it, why don't you go back where you came from?
[ENSEMBLE]
If you don't like it, why don't you go back where you came from?
If you don't like it, why don't you go back where you came from?
[KRUGER]
Let's tear down the House of Morgan
[ENSEMBLE]
House of Morgan
[KRUGER]
Let's burn up the Roxy organ
[ENSEMBLE]
Roxy organ
[KRUGER]
Down with Curry and McCooey
[ENSEMBLE]
And McCooey
[KRUGER]
Down with chow mein and chop suey
[ENSEMBLE]
And chop suey
[KRUGER]
Down with music by Stravinsky
[ENSEMBLE]
By Stravinsky
[KRUGER]
Down with shows except by Minsky
[ENSEMBLE]
Up with Minsky
[KRUGER]
Happiness will fill our cup
When it's down with everything that's up
[ENSEMBLE]
When it's down with everything that's up
[KRUGER]
Down with books by Dostoyevsky
[ENSEMBLE]
Dostoyevsky
[KRUGER]
Down with Boris Tomashefsky
[ENSEMBLE]
Tomashefsky
[KRUGER]
Down with Balzac, down with Zola
[ENSEMBLE]
Down with Zola
[KRUGER]
Down with pianists who play "Nola"
[All dance to a pianist playing "Nola."]
[KRUGER]
Down with all the upper classes
[ENSEMBLE]
Upper classes
[KRUGER]
Might as well include the masses
[ENSEMBLE]
'Clude the masses
[KRUGER]
Happiness will fill our cup
When it's down with everything that's up
[ENSEMBLE]
When it's down with everything that's up
[KRUGER]
So down with this and down with that
And down with everything in view
The hell with this, the hell with that
The hell with you and you and you
[ENSEMBLE]
The hell with who?
[KRUGER]
The hell with you!
[ENSEMBLE]
The hell with who?
[KRUGER]
The hell with you!
[KRUGER & ENSEMBLE]
The hell with you and you and you!
[KRUGER, spoken]
Good morning, Officer Gilhooley
[ENSEMBLE]
Our hearts are in communion
When we gather down on Union
Square, heigh-ho
When whiskers are unshaven
One can always find a haven
There, heigh-ho
Though some may prefer the charming Bronnix
Though some sing of dainty Sutton Place
'Tis here we discover all the tonics
That cure all the problems of the race
Oh, on boxes they put soap in
How we love it in the open
Air, heigh-ho!
We may not fill our stomachs
But we're full of economics
Down on Union Square
Down here on Union Square
