Union Square

Lyrics

[ENSEMBLE] Our hearts are in communion When we gather down on Union Square, heigh-ho When whiskers are unshaven One can always find a haven There, heigh-ho Though some may prefer the charming Bronnix Though some sing of dainty Sutton Place 'Tis here we discover all the tonics That cure all the problems of the race Oh, on boxes they put soap in How we love it in the open Air, heigh-ho We may not fill our stomachs But we're full of еconomics Down on Union Square Down here on Union Squarе [KRUGER] Conditions as they are Cannot go very far The world must move and I am here to move it The brotherhood of man Is crying for a plan So here's my plan—I know you can't improve it [MEN] Conditions as they are Cannot go very far So listen to his plan for man Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down [KRUGER] Down with one and one make two Down with everything in view Down with all majorities Likewise all minorities Down with you and you and you [ENSEMBLE] Down with one and two make three Down with all of us says he [KRUGER] Somehow I abominate Everything you nominate [MEN] Everything from A, B, C to X, Y, Z [KRUGER] That's the torch we're going to get the flame from If you don't like it, why don't you go back where you came from? [ENSEMBLE] If you don't like it, why don't you go back where you came from? If you don't like it, why don't you go back where you came from? [KRUGER] Let's tear down the House of Morgan [ENSEMBLE] House of Morgan [KRUGER] Let's burn up the Roxy organ [ENSEMBLE] Roxy organ [KRUGER] Down with Curry and McCooey [ENSEMBLE] And McCooey [KRUGER] Down with chow mein and chop suey [ENSEMBLE] And chop suey [KRUGER] Down with music by Stravinsky [ENSEMBLE] By Stravinsky [KRUGER] Down with shows except by Minsky [ENSEMBLE] Up with Minsky [KRUGER] Happiness will fill our cup When it's down with everything that's up [ENSEMBLE] When it's down with everything that's up [KRUGER] Down with books by Dostoyevsky [ENSEMBLE] Dostoyevsky [KRUGER] Down with Boris Tomashefsky [ENSEMBLE] Tomashefsky [KRUGER] Down with Balzac, down with Zola [ENSEMBLE] Down with Zola [KRUGER] Down with pianists who play "Nola" [All dance to a pianist playing "Nola."] [KRUGER] Down with all the upper classes [ENSEMBLE] Upper classes [KRUGER] Might as well include the masses [ENSEMBLE] 'Clude the masses [KRUGER] Happiness will fill our cup When it's down with everything that's up [ENSEMBLE] When it's down with everything that's up [KRUGER] So down with this and down with that And down with everything in view The hell with this, the hell with that The hell with you and you and you [ENSEMBLE] The hell with who? [KRUGER] The hell with you! [ENSEMBLE] The hell with who? [KRUGER] The hell with you! [KRUGER & ENSEMBLE] The hell with you and you and you! [KRUGER, spoken] Good morning, Officer Gilhooley [ENSEMBLE] Our hearts are in communion When we gather down on Union Square, heigh-ho When whiskers are unshaven One can always find a haven There, heigh-ho Though some may prefer the charming Bronnix Though some sing of dainty Sutton Place 'Tis here we discover all the tonics That cure all the problems of the race Oh, on boxes they put soap in How we love it in the open Air, heigh-ho! We may not fill our stomachs But we're full of economics Down on Union Square Down here on Union Square
