One Big Happy Family by Tonio K Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The English hate the Irish
And the Arabs hate the Jew
The whole world's got its black man in a pinch
The cowboys hate the Indians
And the Chinese hate 'em too
The French hate everyone
That's just part of being French
[Verse 2]
Now your Spaniard loves a bullfight (toro!)
Your Russian loves a trial
Italians love His Holiness
Because he dresses real snappy
And the Germans like a good old fashioned war
Every once in a while
And we Americans, we love everyone
See we keep the whole world laughing
[Chorus]
Yes we're just one big happy family 'neath the sun
All full of you and me and he and she and it and everyone
Gosh it's a goofy loony place that we're coming from
We call it heaven
Please take your shoes off
Don't ask no questions
Are you having fun?
Well think about this then
[Verse]
The thin ones laugh at fat ones
And the smart ones laugh at fools, yeah
Everyone thinks that somebody else is funny
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha!
The hot laugh at the cold
The old are laughing at the new
And six-gun Yassir and Bokassa and the Rockefellers
You know that they laugh at everybody
[Chorus - Outro]
Still it's just one big happy family 'neath the sun
It's all full of you and me and he and she and it and everyone
Ah it's a wacky zany place we're coming from
Me, I ain't laughin'
In fact I'm leavin'
You keep the car dear
I still don't need it
Don't tell the children
Don't tell the Germans
Don't tell the Rockefellers
Don't tell no one
No one
Ah!
The English hate the Irish
And the Arabs hate the Jew
The whole world's got its black man in a pinch
The cowboys hate the Indians
And the Chinese hate 'em too
The French hate everyone
That's just part of being French
[Verse 2]
Now your Spaniard loves a bullfight (toro!)
Your Russian loves a trial
Italians love His Holiness
Because he dresses real snappy
And the Germans like a good old fashioned war
Every once in a while
And we Americans, we love everyone
See we keep the whole world laughing
[Chorus]
Yes we're just one big happy family 'neath the sun
All full of you and me and he and she and it and everyone
Gosh it's a goofy loony place that we're coming from
We call it heaven
Please take your shoes off
Don't ask no questions
Are you having fun?
Well think about this then
[Verse]
The thin ones laugh at fat ones
And the smart ones laugh at fools, yeah
Everyone thinks that somebody else is funny
Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha!
The hot laugh at the cold
The old are laughing at the new
And six-gun Yassir and Bokassa and the Rockefellers
You know that they laugh at everybody
[Chorus - Outro]
Still it's just one big happy family 'neath the sun
It's all full of you and me and he and she and it and everyone
Ah it's a wacky zany place we're coming from
Me, I ain't laughin'
In fact I'm leavin'
You keep the car dear
I still don't need it
Don't tell the children
Don't tell the Germans
Don't tell the Rockefellers
Don't tell no one
No one
Ah!
