Washington Breakdown Songtext
von Pete Seeger

Franklin D, listen to me
You ain′t a-gonna send me 'cross the sea
′Cross the sea, 'cross the sea
You ain't a-gonna send me ′cross the sea
You may say it′s for defense
But that kind of talk I'm against
I′m against, I'm against
That kind of talk ain′t got no sense
Lafayette, we are here
We gonna stay right over here
Over here, over here
We 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 Willkie and Franklin D
Seems to me they both agree
Both agree, they both agree
They both agree on killing me
