When Nations Get Together Lyrics by Larry Kert, Maureen McGovern, New York Choral Artists

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

0

[WINTERGREEN]
When nations get together
The stormy winds won't blow
They'll always have fair weather
If they pay up what they owe
[INTERPRETERS]
Yes, if they pay up what they owe
[LEAGUE]
When nations get together
And meet in mutual trust
They'll always have fair weather
If money is not discussed
If money is not discussed
[WINTERGREEN]
In this land there's a custom
A funny one, I know
But people, when you trust 'em
Must pay up the debt they owe
[INTERPRETERS]
So pay back what you owe
[LEAGUE]
No comprenez, no capish, no versteh
It must be that we are very dumb today
Every time you mention dollars
Every fiber in us hollers
No comprenez, no capish, no versteh
[WINTERGREEN]
Mary, I can't seem to do a thing
Maybe they'll respond if you will sing
[MARY]
Is this the gratitude you show us
Why don't you pay back what you owe us?
[LEAGUE]
Ah, the beautiful American maid
You put all the other women in the shade
[MARY, spoken]
What about the war debts?
