Let ’Em Eat Cake Lyrics by Larry Kert, New York Choral Artists

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

0

[WINTERGREEN]
Oh, comrades, you deserve your daily bread
That's what I have always said
But I'll go further—You shall have a break
From now on you'll be eating cake!
[ENSEMBLE]
We've always wanted cake
At last we get that break
[WINTERGREEN]
I'm asking payment on an ancient debt
As promised by Marie Antoinette
[ENSEMBLE]
Comrades, it is clear
The millennium is here
[WINTERGREEN]
Let 'em eat cake!
The land of freedom
Is free once more
[ENSEMBLE]
Rum tee um tee um tee ay
Ra ta ta ta tee um tee ay
[WINTERGREEN]
Let 'em eat cake!
Let there be sunshine
From shore to shore
[ENSEMBLE]
Rum tee um tee um tee ay
Ra ta ta ta tee um tee ay
[WINTERGREEN]
Now is the time to be waking
Come on, let's start
Now is the time to be taking
Your part
Let 'em eat cake!
Good times are coming
The skies are clear!
Let it be known the whole world over
The new day is here!
[ENSEMBLE]
Let 'em eat cake!
The land of freedom
Is free once more
Clear the way for better times
Brother, begin to spend those dimes
Let 'em eat cake!
Let there be sunshine
From shore to shore
Lend a hand, the party's on
Open the door, the wolf is gone
Now is the time to be waking
Come on, let's start
Now is the time to be taking
Your part
Let 'em eat cake!
Good times are coming
The skies are clear
One for all and all for one
Living has just begun
Let it be known the whole world over
The new day is here!
