As I was looking up some other song, I came across The Merry Minuet which I learned from a Kingston Trio album. It had a few extras that I believe the Kingston Trio left out. To be totally correct Sheldon Harnick wrote in whistling where I have la, la's.

THE MERRY MINUET
by Sheldon Harnick

Sheldon Harnick, who wrote this charming little ditty, is better known for his music in "Fiddler on the Roof". It was once recorded by the Kingston Trio.


There are days in my life when everything is dreary
I grow pessimistic, sad and world weary
But when I am fearful and tearfully upset
I always sing this MERRY LITTLE MINUET

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

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

In faraway Siberia
La,la la, la la, la la
They freeze by the score
La,la la, la la, la la
An avalanche in Switzerland
La,la la, la la, la la
Just got fifteen more
La,la la, la la, la la

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
La,la la, la la, la la
There's strife in Iran
La,la la, la la, la la
What nature doesn't do to us
La,la la, la la, la la
Will be done by our fellow man
La,la la, la la, la la

Does anyone have the words to another song on that same album about the story of Alice. It starts out like this:

This is the story of Alice,
Told without any malice
Alice was loved by Algernon
And there's no wondering
For Alice is very beautiful
Is beautiful, Is beautiful, Is beautiful
Except for one little thing:

Her eyes, surprise!
They're green and they're graphic
They light up in traffic

It then goes on to describe various parts of her in that manner. There's also a song about Algernon describing him. The end "song" indicates they got married and had a baby. I'm sure it needs a song describing the baby. judy
