Nacha Guevara, Merry Minuet [Sheldon Harnick]

I guess the world hasn't changed much, huh?

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 Yugoslavs 
South Africans hate the Dutch 
And I don't like anybody very much 

But we can be tranquil and thankful 
And proud for man's been endowed 
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
