Trade War |
| Mister Ford sez to Mister Firestone |
| When they meet at the old campground |
| «We will send out the news by wire and |
| Tell all the people what we have found |
| We can ask Thomas Alva Edison |
| Telephone Alexander Graham Bell |
| And if someone comes here with something to sell |
| Just make yourself clear and tell him to go straight to hell |
| Trade war! |
| For your peace and our protection |
| Give us speed and new direction |
| Someone needs to mind the store |
| Trade war! |
| As is mentioned in the Bible |
| Nations tend to what is tribal |
| Across the ocean white with foam |
| Spend your dollars here at home» |
| Mister Ford turns to MisterFirestone |
| «Well the nation has gotta roll |
| Time has come for the Yanks to load up the tanks |
| If a victory is our goal |
| To show the world all about free enterprize |
| Cut the competition down to size |
| We must make it a date to participate in cooperation |
| We are a nation at war |
| Trade war! |
| We are thinking of survival |
| At the brink with each new rival |
| Here to even up the score |
| Trade war! |
| Competition now is global |
| Give your country what is noble |
| If you’re an eagle you must soar |
| We are a nation as at war! |
| There’s a bomber up in the sky tonight |
| 'Cause the two brothers Wright took flight |
| Man has gone to the air to keep the world fair |
| Show the others where might makes right |
| When you look up in the wild blue yonder now |
| And see a star or a satellite |
| On a Yankee’s invention it may depend |
| So lend us your spirit bright! |
| Trade war! |
| Don’t sell land to the invader |
| Tell him come back maybe later |
| We don’t do that anymore |
| Trade war! |
| Thanks to our man Ronald Reagan |
| He is gone and we are begging |
| For just the interest on the loan |
| And calamity unknown |
| Trade war! |
| For our lands and independence |
| For our children and descendants |
| We must hold them at the door |
| Trade war! |
| And the sparks have started flying |
| Though your heart says you’re denying |
| Our love for all humanity |
| It’s what keeps us breathing free |
| Trade war! |
| Make it legal make it tender |
| May our nation not surrender oh no! |
| For just one race to rule the world |
| Keep that battle flag unfurled!» |
