All Mixed Up |
You know this language that we speak |
Is part German, Latin and part Greek |
Celtic and Arabic all in a heap |
Well amended by the people in the street |
Choctaw gave us the word «okay» |
«Vamose» is a word from Mexico way |
And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next |
I think that this whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice |
And pizza pie is also nice |
Corn and beans from the Indians here |
Washed down by German beer |
Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony |
He brought to Italy, the first macaroni |
And you and I as well as we’re able |
We put it all on the table |
I think that this whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
There were no red-headed Irishmen |
Before the Vikings landed in Ireland |
How many Romans had dark curly hair |
Before they brought slaves from Africa? |
No race of man is completely pure |
Nor is anyone’s mind, that’s for sure |
The winds mix the dust of every land |
And so will woman and man |
I think that this whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
This doesn’t mean we will all be the same |
We’ll have different faces and different names |
Long live many different kinds of races |
It’s difference of opinion that makes horse races |
Just remember the rule about rules, brother |
What could be right for one could be wrong for the other |
And take a tip from La Belle France: «Viva la difference!» |
I think that this whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon mama my whole wide world |
Soon mama my whole world |
Soon gonna be gettin' mixed up |
