Sing Me A Song With Social Significance - Barbra Streisand[00:00:00]
I'm tired of moon-songs of star and of june songs[00:00:08]
They simply make me nap[00:00:12]
And ditties romantic drive me nearly frantic[00:00:15]
I think they're all full of pap[00:00:19]
History's making nations are quaking[00:00:23]
Why sing of stars above[00:00:26]
For while we are waiting father time's creating[00:00:30]
New things to be singing of[00:00:34]
Sing me a song with social significance[00:00:41]
All other tunes are taboo[00:00:45]
I want a ditty with heat in it[00:00:48]
Appealing with feeling and meat in it[00:00:52]
Sing me a song with social significance[00:00:56]
Or you can sing 'til you're blue[00:01:00]
Let meaning shine from ev'ry line[00:01:03]
Or I won't love you[00:01:07]
Sing me of wars and sing me of breadlines[00:01:10]
Tell me of front page news[00:01:14]
Sing me of strikes and last minute headlines[00:01:18]
Dress your observation in syncopation[00:01:22]
Sing me a song with social significance[00:01:26]
There's nothing else that will do[00:01:29]
It must get hot with what is what[00:01:32]
Or I won't love you[00:01:36]
I want a song that's satirical[00:01:47]
Putting the mere into miracle[00:01:51]
It must be packed with social fact[00:02:02]
Or I won't love you[00:02:06]
Sing me of kings and conf'rences martial[00:02:10]
Tell me of mills and mines[00:02:14]
Sing me of courts that aren't impartial[00:02:17]
What's to be done with 'em tell me in rhythm[00:02:21]
Sing me a song with social significance[00:02:25]
There's nothing else that will do[00:02:28]
It must be tense with common sense[00:02:32]
Or I won't love you[00:02:36]
