Did you know, did you know,

That the whole round world

Is going to have to live

The American way,

As interpreted by Bundy

And L.B.J.,

Did you know, did you know, did you know?

Did you know, did you know,

That the whole round world,

Four billion people

Of every shade and hue,

Is going to have to do

As the Americans do,

Did you know, did you know, did you know?

Did you know, did you know,

That the whole world round

Is going to have democracy

Rammed down it's neck

On the model of Trujillo

And Chiang Kai Shek

Did you know, did you know, did you know?

Did you know that Americans

Who can't find jobs

Are going into training

Controlling mobs--

People on the march

Who are trying to say

That they don't want to live

The American way

As interpreted by Bundy

And the C.I.A.

Did you know, did you know, did you know?

Did you know that Americans

Fight and die For Texaco oil

The whole world round

And a Madison Avenue

In every town

Did you know, did you know, did you know?

Did you know, did you know

We've a beautiful role

America the Virtuous

To save the world's soul

The little Bobbie Bakers

The hucksters and the fakers

The gangster empire that nobody stops

General Electric

And the New York cops

Did you know, did you know, did you know?
