Lyrics The Real Ambassador - Louis Armstrong , Dave Brubeck , Lambert, Hendricks & Ross

Who's the real ambassador?
It is evident we represent American society
Noted for its etiquette, its manners and sobriety
We have followed protocol with absolute propriety
We're Yankees to the core
We're the real ambassadors
Though we may appear as bores, we are diplomats in our proper hats
Our attire becomes habitual along with all the ritual
The diplomatic corps has been analyzed and criticized by NBC and CBS
Senators and congressmen are so concerned, they can't recess
State Department stands in awe your coup d'etat
Has met success and caused this great uproar
Who's the real ambassador?
Yeah!
The real ambassador!
Who's the real ambassador?
It is evident we represent American society
Noted for its etiquette, its manners and sobriety
We have followed protocol with absolute propriety
We're Yankees to the core
We're the real ambassadors
Though we may appear as bores, we are diplomats in our proper hats
Our attire becomes habitual along with all the ritual
The diplomatic corps has been analyzed and criticized by NBC and CBS
Senators and congressmen are so concerned they can't recess
State Department stands in awe your coup d'etat
Has met success and caused this great uproar
Who's the real ambassador?
Yeah!
The real ambassador!
I'm the real ambassador
It is evident I was sent by government to take your place
All I do is play the blues and meet the people face to face
I'll explain and make it plain, I represent
The human race, and don't pretend no more
Who's the real ambassador?
Certain facts we can't ignore
In my humble way, I'm the USA
Though I represent the government, the government
Don't represent some policies I'm for
Oh, we learn to be concerned about the constitutionality
In our nation, segregation isn't a legality
Soon our only differences will be in personality
That's what I stand for
Who's the real ambassador?
Yes!
The real ambassador!
In his humble way, he's the USA
Though he represents the government, the
Government don't represent some policies he's for
Oh, we've learned to be concerned about the constitutionality
In our nation, segregation isn't a legality
Soon our only differences will be in personality
That's what I stand for
He's the real ambassador
Yes!
The real ambassador
