Some Things Never Change

Well, this is a little ditty that is current today as it was almost 50 years ago. It was sung by the Kingston Trio in 1956 and it's called a "Merry Little Minuet".

They're rioting in Africa,
They're starving in Spain,
There's hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain.

The whole world is festering with unhappy souls,
The French hate the Germans.
The Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yogoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch,
And I don't like anyone very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankville and proud
For mans' been endangered with a mushroom-shaped cloud,
And we know for certain that some lovely day,
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Africa,
There's strife in Iran,
What nature doesn't do to us,
Will be done by our fellow man.
