Debts – Caater – letras

[1st verse:]England and Italy and Germany and FranceWe came here to discuss the debtsAnd we’re leaving with no regretsFor England and Italy and Germany and FranceWe have more than reached our aimAnd we’re mighty glad we came[Europe’s Refrain:]We’ve had a lovely conference with the U.S.A.We’ll pay our debts in silver and we’ll be glad to payIn a month or two we think we can pay our debts in zincAnd the next year we’ll begin paying off what’s left in tinOh, how we love America for she never makes a fussThat’s why we love America and America loves usWe’ll tell our countries what we did and they’re bound to sayIf you think we can pay them off in wood, go back to the U.S.A.[2nd verse:]England and Italy and Germany and FranceHere’s some news that you ought to knowOff the gold standard we must goLike England and Italy and Germany and FranceWe are going to inflateAnd we’re very glad to state:[America’s Refrain:]Let the pound go up, the franc go up, the mark go up as wellUncle Sam will be in Heaven when the dollar goes to HellFor the stocks go up, the bonds go up, when no one wants to sellUncle Sam will be in Heaven when the dollar goes to HellOf course, our friends won’t like it across the ocean blueBut we can greet our neighbors with a hey nonny nonny and a nuts to youLet them call us this and call us that but while they scream and yellUncle Sam will be in Heaven when the dollar goes to Hell[Europe’s refrain is then sung in counterpoint with an alteredStanza and a half of « The Star Spangled Banner »]
