Peter, Paul & Mary - All Mixed Up Lyrics
You know this language that we speak,Is part german , latin and part greekCeltic and arabic all in a heap,Well amended by the people in the streetThe choctaw gave us the word okay;Vamose is a word from mexico way.And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next.Chorus:I think that this whole worldSoon mama my whole wide worldSoon mama my whole worldSoon gonna be get mixed up.Soon mama my whole worldSoon mama my whole wide worldSoon mama my whole worldSoon gonna be get mixed up.I like polish sausage, I like spanish rice,And pizza pie is also niceCorn and beans from the indians hereWashed down by german beerMarco polo traveled by camel and pony,He brought to italy, the first macaroniAnd you and I as well were able,We put it all on the table(chorus)There were no red-headed irishmenBefore the vikings landed in irelandHow many romans had dark curly hairBefore they brought slaves from africa?No race of man is completely pure,Nor is anyones mind, thats for sureThe winds mix the dust of every land,And so will woman and man.(chorus)This doesnt mean we will all be the same,Well have different faces and different namesLong live many different kinds of racesIts a difference of opinion that makes horse racesJust remember the rule about rules, brotherWhat could be right for one could be wrong for the otherAnd take a tip from la belle france: viva la difference!(chorus)
