It’s Not Your Nationality Songtext
von Tiny Tim

Everybody has a native land
In the North, South, East and West
And it′s only right your native land
Should be the place you love the best

It makes no difference where you are
Don't wait for fame to come
Just go and get it
They′ll give you credit
No matter where you're from

It's not your nationality
It′s what you do
Sometimes a technicality
Will bring great fame to you

Bismarck made his mark
In Germany, we know
And young Marconi
Had a scheme that sounded phony
But he upset all the dough


Just think of Rockefeller
And what he can buy
He started in a cellar
But he climbed away up high

So if you′ve got the spirit
Never mind your name
Folks will hear it
If you play the game

It's not your nationality
It′s simply you
It's not your nationality
It′s what you do
Sometimes a technicality
Will bring great fame to you

Bryan kept trying
He never gave up hope
And young Marconi
Had a scheme that sounded phony
But he upset all the dope

Just think of Henry Ford
And his old flivver bus
We laugh, but all the dough he got
He took away from us


So if you've got the spirit
Never mind your name
Folks will hear it
If you play the game

It′s not your nationality
It's simply you

So if you've got the spirit
Never mind your name
Folks will hear it
If you play the game

It′s not your nationality
It′s simply you
