Paris Warlike |
Paris 1933 |
It says here, «Army marches streets |
A thousand soldiers seen today |
All on the eve of May Day.» |
I found a paper in the antique |
«Paris Warlike On May Day Eve.» |
This gasoline has met its match |
«Any uprising will be smashed.» |
The stirring guns and loaded tanks |
So who shall cast the first red flag? |
On yellow paper, black type: |
«Troops are ready to smash a general strike.» |
Up in the attic, under dust |
I opened up a soldier’s trunk |
And now the ghosts inside are all stirred up |
Can almost hear those trumpets blare |
They’re holding fire in the square |
They’re standing on some general’s bones |
And that’s all the AP wrote |
I guess the people all went to sleep |
I wonder, what did May First’s headlines read? |
All on the paper in the antique |
«Paris Warlike On May Day Eve.» |
