Lyrics Give It Back To The Indians - Ella Fitzgerald
Old
Peter
Minuet
had
nothing
to
lose
when
he
bought
the
isle
of
Manhatten
For
twenty-six
dollars
and
a
bottle
of
booze
and
they
threw
in
the
Bronx
and
Staten
Pete
thought
that
he
had
the
best
of
the
bargin
but
the
poor
red
man
just
grinned,
And
he
grunted
"ugh!"
meaning
okay
in
his
jargon
for
he
knew
poor
Pete
was
skinned.
We've
tried
to
run
the
city...
but
the
city
ran
away...
And
now
Peter
Minuet
We
can't
continue
it...
Broadway's
turning
into
Coney,
Champagne
Charlie's
drinking
gin,
Old
New
York
is
new
and
phony
Give
it
back
to
the
Indians!
Two
cents
more
to
smoke
a
Lucky,
Dodging
busses
keep
you
thin,
Now
New
York
is
simply
ducky,
Give
it
back
to
the
Indians!
Take
all
the
reds,
on
the
boxes
made
for
soap
Whites
on
Fifth
Avenue
Blues
down
in
Wall
Street
losing
hope.
Big
bargain
today...
Chief
take
it
away!
Come
you
busted
city
slickers,
Better
take
it
on
the
chin
Father
Nick
has
lost
his
knickers
Give
it
back
to
the
Indians!
Take
all
the
reds,
on
the
boxes
made
for
soap
Whites
on
Fifth
Avenue
Blues
down
in
Wall
Street
losing
hope.
Big
bargain
today...
Chief
take
it
away!
Come
you
busted
city
slickers,
Better
take
it
on
the
chin
Father
Nick
has
lost
his
knickers
Give
it
back
to
the
Indians!
