All Mixed Up
Pete Seeger
[Verse 1] You know this language that we speak Is part German part Latin and part Greek With some Celtic and Arabic and Scandanavian all in the heap Well amended by the people in the streets Choctaw gave us the word ’okay’; vamoose is a word from Mexico way And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next [Chorus] I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up [Verse 2] I like Polish sausage I like Spanish rice Pizza pie is also nice Corn and beans from the Indians here Washed down by some German beer Marco Polo travelled by camel and pony brought to Italy the first macaroni And you and I as well as we’re able put it all on the table [Chorus] I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up [Verse 3] There were no redheaded Irishmen Before the vikings landed in Ireland How many Romans had dark curly hair Before they brought slaves from Africa? No race on Earth is completely pure nor is anyone’s mind and that’s for sure The winds mix the dust of every land and so will man [Chorus] I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up [Verse 4] Oh this doesn’t mean we will all be the same We’ll have different faces and different names Long live many different kinds of races And difference of opinion that makes horse races Just remember the rule about rules brother; what’s right with one is wrong with another And take a tip from la belle France: vive la difference [Chorus] I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up [Outro] I think that this whole world Soon mama my whole wide world Soon mama my whole world Soon gonna be get mixed up
