Give It Back to the Indians - Ella Fitzgerald[00:00:00]
Old peter minuet had nothing to lose[00:00:09]
When he bought the isle of manhatten[00:00:13]
For twenty-six dollars and a bottle of booze[00:00:18]
And they threw in the bronx and staten[00:00:22]
Pete thought that he had the best of[00:00:27]
The bargin but the poor red man just grinned [00:00:30]
And he grunted ugh meaning okay[00:00:35]
In his jargon for he[00:00:39]
Knew poor pete was skinned [00:00:40]
We've tried to run the city[00:00:44]
But the city ran away[00:00:49]
And now peter minuet[00:00:54]
We can't continue it[00:01:01]
Broadways turning into coney [00:01:06]
Champagne charlies drinking gin [00:01:09]
Old new york is new and phony[00:01:11]
Give it back to the indians [00:01:14]
Two cents more to smoke a lucky [00:01:17]
Dodging busses keep you thin [00:01:19]
Now new york is simply ducky [00:01:22]
Give it back to the indians [00:01:24]
Take all the reds [00:01:26]
On the boxes made for soap[00:01:29]
Whites on fifth avenue[00:01:33]
Blues down in wall street losing hope[00:01:39]
Big bargain today chief take it away [00:01:45]
Come you busted city slickers [00:01:50]
Better take it on the chin[00:01:53]
Father nick has lost his knickers[00:01:56]
Give it back to the indians [00:01:58]
Take all the reds [00:02:26]
On the boxes made for soap[00:02:29]
Whites on fifth avenue[00:02:33]
Blues down in wall street losing hope[00:02:39]
Big bargain today chief take it away [00:02:45]
Come you busted city slickers [00:02:51]
Better take it on the chin[00:02:53]
Father nick has lost his knickers[00:02:57]
Give it back to the indians[00:02:59]
