Comes the Revolution Lyrics by Jack Gilford, New York Choral Artists

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

0

[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
Comes the revolution
Everything is jake
Comes the revolution
We'll be eating cake
Skies above are growing bright and clear
Happy days will soon be here
The butcher and the baker
Undertaker, too
Thank their Lord and Maker
For their shirt of blue
Comes the revolution, all is jake
And soon we'll be eating cake
[ENSEMBLE]
Comes the revolution
Everything is jake
Comеs the revolution
We'll bе eating cake
[THROTTLEBOTTOM]
When the streets and rivers run with red
I'll be underneath the bed
And after all the capers
Put the foe to rout
I will read the papers
To see how we came out!
[ENSEMBLE]
Comes the revolution, all is jake
And soon we'll be eating cake
[MARY & WINTERGREEN]
Good morning!
[ENSEMBLE]
How do you do?
[WOMEN]
This is the team
Who dreamed the dream
And made it true
[MEN]
Wonderful thing, the shirt of blue
[MARY & WINTERGREEN]
Say, we had no other choice
We heard the voice
We heard a nation calling
Calling to us to save 'em
This is the thing we gave 'em
[ENSEMBLE]
Hooray! Hooray!
Wintergreen again will save the day!
[WINTERGREEN]
My good friends, don't praise me!
I owe it all to the little woman
This little woman, my little woman
[ENSEMBLE]
His little woman
[WINTERGREEN]
She's the reason for my success
Why, when I think of how we suffered together
[MARY]
Worried together
[WINTERGREEN]
Struggled together
[MARY & WINTERGREEN]
Stood together together!
[WINTERGREEN]
I grow so sentimental
I'm afraid I've got to burst into song
[ENSEMBLE]
Please do!
We'd love to know how you feel about her
And how she feels about you
