| | | Artist: | Ella Fitzgerald |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Give It Back To The Indians | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 3 | | | | Lyrics: | Old Peter Minuet had nothing to lose when he bought the isle of Manhatten
For twenty-six
dollars and a bottle of booze and they threw in the Bronx and Staten
Pete thought that he had
the best of the bargin but the poor red man just grinned,
And he grunted "ugh!" meaning okay in
his jargon for he knew poor Pete was skinned.
We've tried to run the city....but the city ran
away...
And now Peter Minuet
We can't continue it...
Broadway's turning into
Coney,
Champagne Charlie's drinking gin,
Old New York is new and phony
Give it back
to the Indians!
Two cents more to smoke a Lucky,
Dodging busses keep you thin,
Now New York is simply ducky,
Give it back to the Indians!
Take all the reds, on the
boxes made for soap
Whites on Fifth Avenue
Blues down in Wall Street losing hope..
Big bargain today...Chief take it away!
Come you busted city slickers,
Better take
it on the chin
Father Nick has lost his knickers
Give it back to the Indians!
instrumental break
Take all the reds, on the boxes made for soap
Whites on Fifth
Avenue
Blues down in Wall Street losing hope..
Big bargain today...Chief take it
away!
Come you busted city slickers,
Better take it on the chin
Father Nick has
lost his knickers
Give it back to the Indians! | | | |
