Almanac Singers - Washington Breakdown Lyrics



Almanac Singers - Washington Breakdown Lyrics




Franklin D., listen to me
You ain't gonna send me 'cross the sea
'Cross the sea, 'cross the sea
You ain't gonna send me 'cross the sea

You may say it's for defense
But that kinda talk that I'm against
I'm against, I'm against
That kinda talk ain't got no sense

Lafayette, we are here
We're gonna stay right over here
Over here, over here
We're gonna stay right over here

Marcantonio is the best
But I wouldn't give a nickel for all the rest
All the rest, all the rest
I wouldn't give a nickel for all the rest

J. P. Morgan's big and plump
Eighty-four inches around the rump
Around the rump, around the rump
Eighty-four inches around the rump

Wendell Wilkie and Franklin D
Seems to me they both agree
Both agree, both agree
Both agree on killin' me
