Lyrics

[STJERBINSKY] My code of honor says men are brothers That I should spread my arms And hug the world en masse Love God Almighty above all others Who had the wisdom to have made me upper-class That I'm a man who loves his neighbour Is an undisputed fact But you my friend make prejudice An honorable act As I'm who I am, and you are who you are And so Monsieur, I will not drive this car [JACOBOWSKY] At least do it for Poland For ham and perogi and bigos and babka and tea And this pleasant little ride Will give you patriotic pride If you do it for P-O-L-A-N-D Come on, do it for Poland For keeping the Fatherland out And the Motherland free Though your attitude is stoic They'll consider you heroic If you do it for P-O-L-A-N-D [STJERBINSKY] My code says honor the female gender And show them my respect In every deed and thought And my male ethics in all their splendor Say only be unfaithful if you don't get caught I may have stooped to indiscretion To secure a lady's kiss But I never thought that I would have To stoop as low as this [JACOBOWSKY] At least do it for Poland So the sausage will keep stuffed And the sheep will get shorn And you'll soon exchange your pallor For the rosy glow of valor If you do it for the land where you were born Come on! Do it for Poland Paderewski, Pilsudski, and Chopin Will surely agree That this deed that you are doubting Will become a summer outing If you do it for P-O-L-A-N-D For the folks in Gdynia It's a peach of a town For the men in the Salt Mines We can't let them down [STJERBINSKY] Alright, I'll do it for Poland For keeping the Fatherland out And the Motherland free This horrendous trip I'm taking And this sacrifice I'm making I'll be making for P-O-L-A-N-D [ENSEMBLE] Come on, do it for Poland For keeping the Fatherland out And the Motherland free And this pleasant little ride Will bring you patriotic pride When you do it for P-O-L-A-N-D For General Pulaski! For Madame Curie! For kelbasi sausage! [JACOBOWSKY] For Studno near Kasimisz! [ENSEMBLE] You'll be making for P-O-L-A-N-D
