52. OK, time to resurrect this oldie...
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 11:22 PM by onager
And the two-legged "oldies" among us know who did it...

(Spoken Intro): One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week...

During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged to drive home the message of brotherhood - this year, for example, on the first day of the week, Malcolm X was killed, which gives you an idea of how effective the whole thing is...Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week:

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks, and the black folks hate the white folks;
To hate all but the right folks, is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark* are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize, the people you despise
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks, and the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks. It's American as apple pie!

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand, of someone you can't stand,
You can tolerate him if you try!

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics, and the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems, and everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-Smile-At-One-Another-Hood Week.
Be kind to people who, are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear;
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!


* Sheriff Jim Clark of Selma, Alabama, was responsible for several violent arrests of Civil Rights protestors.
