We`d Like To Thank You — текст песни (Various)

All
Today we`re living in a shanty
Today we`re scrounding for a meal
Sophie
Today I`m stealing coal for fires
Who knew i could steal?
Men
I used to winter in the tropics
Women
I spent my summers at the shore
Fred
I used to throw away the paper--
All
We`d like to thank you: Herber Hoover
For really showing us the way
We`d like to thank you: Herbert Hoover
You made us what we are today
Prosperity was `round the corner
The cozy cottage built for two
In this blue heaven
That you
Gave us
Yes! We`re turning blue!
They offered us AL Smith and Hoover
We paid attention and we chose
Not only did we pay attention
We piad through the nose.
In ev`ry pt he said a chicken
But Herbert Hoover he forgot
Not only don`t we have the chicken
We ain`t got the pot!
Hey Herbie
Women
You left behind a greatful nation
All
So, Herb, our hats are off to you
We`re up to here with admiration
Sophie
Come down and have a little stew
All
Come down and share some Christmas dinner
Be sure to bring the missus too
We got no turkey for our stuffing
We`d like to thank you, Herbert Hoover
For really showing us the way
You dirty rat, you
Bureaucrat, you
Made us what we are today
Come and get it, Herb!
