the rags: the musical original london recording company - greenhorns lyrics

Loading...

[ensemble, peddlers]
long live columbus!
long live columbus
fresh stock, fresh stock
on columbus

[businessmen]
another load of greenh+rns
fresh off the boat
another wave of refugees
to fill the mills and factories
a little grist
for the capital system

it’s a bunch of greaseb+lls
greasin’ the wheels
a little oil for the machine
greenh+rns
ship ’em in
they keep our pockets full of green

greenh+rns
greenh+rns
greenh+rns

why should we pay
for the manual labor
with a hunk of hunkies
huntin’ for jobs
they’re dirty till we pick ’em clean
greenh+rns
how d’ya do?
ya help to keep the greenback green

[man, spoken]
anyone who’s ever had tuberculosis, over here in this line

[second man, spoken]
anyone who has a white card, get in the barge!

[david, spoken]
do we have a white card?

[rebecca, spoken]
no. stay close

[businessmen, ensemble]
another mob of mockies makin’ their way
the latest lot of dross and scums
hurryin’ from some new pogrom
to be a cog
in the great wheel of progress

it’s a slew of suckers
ready to pluck
once they get out of quarantine
greenh+rns
hebes and wops
as long as greenh+rns
work the shops
pick the crops
push the mops
long live columbus!
eat the slops
long live columbus!

the flood of greenh+rns
never stops

[all]
let’s keep america
long live america!
we’ll keep america
green
