The Merry Minuet

There's an old tongue-in-cheek Kingston Trio song written during the 60s Cold War period that reminds me of some family relationships today (kind of a cold war going on):

The Merry Minuet - lyrics by Sheldon Harnick

They're rioting in Africa. They're starving in Spain.
There's hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain.
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls.
The French hate the Germans. The Germans hate the Poles.
Italians hate Yugoslavs. South Africans hate the Dutch
and I don't like anybody very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
for man's been endowed with a mushroom shaped cloud.
And we know for certain that some lovely day
someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Africa. There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us... will be done by our fellow man.
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles; Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch and I don't like anybody very much.
