Send ’Em Back Lyrics by The Foremen

Folk Heroes

0

[Verse 1]
Little Pedro and Juanita arrived this morning in Reseda
On a special overnight delivery
(Baby cries)
They bubbled and they burbled
And they flashed their brown eyes at us
We said "check their little heartbeats
And their immigration status"
And if you should find that they're here illegally
...gally
...gally
...gally

[Chorus]
Send 'em back
Send 'em back
Give 'em one good whack and half an hour to pack
And their cousins to the fuzz
And stick them on a southbound bus
Restrict immigration
Givе the country back to us

[Verse 2]
Little Helga and hеr father
Came across the rolling water
On a stormy day in 1923
And he labored as a carpenter
So she could be a doctor
Now they convalesce together
In the window where he rocked her
And they're burdens on the state economy
...nomy
...nomy
...nomy

[Chorus]
Send 'em back
Send 'em back
Give 'em one Big Mac and syrup ipecac
On a steamer back to Bremerhaven
Instantaneous
Restrict immigration
Give the country back to us

[Bridge]
Send the Finns back to Finland
And the Russians further inland
Send the Poles back to Poland
And the penguins to the poles
Any man with a tan
Should go back to Tanzania
And Aegeans to Aegea
And Koreans back to Seoul

[Verse 3]
Well Columbus found this nation
Had a native population
Who'd been living here since many years BC
Descended from a people
Who were noble, brave, and daring
Who migrated 'cross the Bering
Eating bits of frozen herring
And spread out across this continent from sea
...to sea
...so peaceful
...and so free...

[Chorus]
Send 'em back (Send 'em back!)
Send 'em back (Send 'em back!)
Put 'em on a trek Columbo couldn't track
Let 'em count the steps to China
On a frickin' abacus
Restrict immigration
And give this mighty nation
Back to us
Squirrels
