Sitting on Your Status Quo - Barbra Streisand Chorus/Rose Marie Jun/Alan Sokoloff/Barbra Streisand (芭芭拉·史翠珊)[00:00:00]

Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day[00:00:10]

Yes teacher yes teacher[00:00:14]

Are you ready to learn what history has to say[00:00:16]

Yes teacher yes teacher[00:00:19]

Then take your books and follow me to 1776 AD[00:00:22]

And as the history page is turned we will see what we can learn[00:00:27]

Yes teacher yes teacher yes teacher[00:00:33]

In 1776 Tom Paine was writing books with a might and main[00:00:38]

The tory said now man alive[00:00:44]

Stop giving out with this here liberty jive[00:00:46]

Stop giving out with this here liberty jive[00:00:49]

Don't sing of people's rights that way[00:00:52]

They might believe in what you say[00:00:54]

So stop your song it's not polite[00:00:57]

Pipe down before you start a fight[00:01:00]

You don't say teacher is that right[00:01:02]

Aha but Tom Paine looked ahead[00:01:05]

And to those tories Thomas said no no no no[00:01:08]

When you got to go you got to go[00:01:14]

You can't stand still on freedom's track[00:01:16]

If you don't go forward you go back[00:01:19]

You can't giddy up by saying whoa[00:01:22]

And sitting on your status quo[00:01:24]

Yes teacher yes teacher yes teacher[00:01:28]

To Washington at valley forge[00:01:33]

A wise guy whispered slow down George[00:01:35]

Why start up trouble for the king[00:01:38]

This freedom racket is a corny thing[00:01:41]

This freedom racket is a corny thing[00:01:44]

Your troops are ickys they can't move[00:01:46]

You'll never get them in the groove[00:01:49]

So if you're wise you'll just lay low[00:01:52]

And play with the guys that have the dough[00:01:54]

You don't say teacher is that so[00:01:57]

Aha but George just looked ahead[00:02:00]

And to that tory George said no[00:02:03]

When you got to go you got to go[00:02:08]

You can't stand still on freedom's track[00:02:11]

If you don't go forward you go back[00:02:14]

You can't giddy up by saying whoa[00:02:16]

And sitting on your status quo[00:02:19]

Yes teacher yes teacher yes teacher[00:02:23]

Now Paul Revere saw a bellfry light[00:02:28]

And that boy rode to town one night[00:02:30]

Sang to the farmers near and far[00:02:33]

Here come the British beating eight to the bar[00:02:36]

Here come the British beating eight to the bar[00:02:39]

One slippery tory said now paul[00:02:41]

You're manners aren't nice at all[00:02:44]

Turn back don't be an old hep cat[00:02:47]

The right people don't sing like that[00:02:49]

But Paul Revere turn him down flat[00:02:52]

Aha that's right he rode ahead[00:02:55]

And to that tory Paul just said no no no no[00:02:58]

When you got to go you got to go[00:03:03]

You can't stand still on freedom's track[00:03:06]

If you don't go forward you go back[00:03:08]

You can't giddy up by saying whoa[00:03:11]

And sitting on your status quo[00:03:14]

Yes teacher yes teacher yes teacher[00:03:18]

So students now you're help don't stop[00:03:22]

Keep stepping to that freedom hop[00:03:25]

Although the tory's beef and blow[00:03:28]

To keep you sitting on your status quo[00:03:31]

To keep you sitting on your status quo[00:03:34]

When they say let's stand still a bit[00:03:36]

Give up some rights no harm in it[00:03:39]

Remember those are just the tricks[00:03:42]

That did not work in 76[00:03:44]

Now ain't that right the same old tricks[00:03:47]

Though torys talk don't be misled[00:03:50]

And say what all those others said[00:03:53]

No no no no[00:03:56]

When you got to go you got to go[00:03:58]

You can't stand still on freedom's track[00:04:01]

If you don't go forward you go back[00:04:03]

You can't giddy up by saying whoa[00:04:06]

And sitting on your status[00:04:09]

Sitting on your sittin' on your status quo[00:04:12]

Oh whoa[00:04:19]
