Brothers |
| Hey, Bobby |
| Why are you standing in the shadows? |
| Come over by the fire |
| I want to have a drink with you |
| This is our house now |
| So let’s act like we belong here |
| Considering some of those who’ve lived here |
| Maybe we do |
| I got some Michter’s Irish whiskey |
| From Mr. George Preston Marshall |
| The man who’s owned the Redskins |
| Since the days of old |
| And he runs them like a plantation |
| Like a plantation, Jack? |
| Like a plantation, Bob |
| For never has a black man |
| Worn the burgundy and gold |
| Does he know it’s the capital of the country, Jack? |
| Does he know that it’s 1961? |
| Does he know that the Redskins |
| Need a halfback, Bobby Boy |
| Who can run? |
| There’s a man to see you in the office, Jack |
| Bob, I’m going home, I’ve had a rotten day |
| You are home, Jack |
| Hmmm |
| Well, I still don’t want to see him |
| I think you should see him anyway |
| It’s about Cuba, Jack |
| The Russians are pouring in |
| And it’s 90 miles away |
| This man has a plan to overthrow the government there |
| With a very small expeditionary force |
| They’ll land on the beaches in the dead of night |
| So no one will be at the beach |
| Right, Bob? |
| That’s right, Jack |
| The people will join them |
| They’ll march on Havana |
| And our planes will fly support |
| Ah but they won’t, Bob |
| We’ll have nothing to do with this |
| But wait |
| Wait a minute, Bobby Boy |
| There’s a woman there in Cuba |
| Whom I love |
| Oh no, Jack |
| Not in a bad way, but a good way |
| Do you know any Cuban music, Bob? |
| Does I Love Lucy count? |
| Of course it does |
| But the one whom I love is |
| Celia Cruz |
| Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz |
| The greatest singer in the world today |
| If she’s there and wants to get away |
| Then bring her here to the USA |
| I’ll see the man with the plan |
| And I’ll be the first to shake him by the hand |
| And I’ll be the first to give him the news |
| We’re gonna save Celia Cruz |
| Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz |
| Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz |
| Sing along, Bobby |
| Celia Cruz, Celia Cruz |
| Sing harmony, Bob |
| I always sing harmony, Jack |
| I know you do |
| I’m excited Bob |
| It’s just like the Rough Riders |
| You excited? |
| Dad was right about you, Bobby |
| Big office, isn’t it, Bobby? |
| Long hallway |
