Subject: Lyr Add: POLITICAL SCIENCE (Randy Newman)
I used to live in an International House. I often picked up new arrivals from the airport and on the way home I sang them this song (Can't you just see W and Rummy arm in arm doing a rendition?):
POLITICAL SCIENCE by Randy Newman circa 1976
No one likes us, don't know why, We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try Now all around even our old friends put us down Let's drop the big one, see what happens
We give them money, are they greatful No, they're spiteful and they're hateful They don't respect us, so let's surprise them We'll drop the big one, and pulverize them
Asia's crowded, Europe's too old Africa is far too hot and Canada's too cold South America stole our name We'll drop the big one, there'll be no one left to blame us
We'll save Australia, don't want to hurt no kangaroo We'll build an all American amusement park there They've got surfin' too
Boom goes London, Boom Paree More room for you and more room for me And every city, the whole world round Will just be another American town Oh how peaceful it'll be, we'll set everybody free You'll wear a Japanese kimono baby, Italian shoes for me!
They all hate us anyhow Let's drop the big one now Let's drop the big one now
