Lyrics A New Broon Sweeps Clean - Socalled

ZHORA: A new chief came to the precinct yesterday, Aunt Hanna asked me to tell you...
BENYA: I knew about this the day before yesterday. Next...
ZHORA: The chief gathered everyone at the precinct and gave a speech...
BENYA: A new broom sweeps clean.
ALL: A new broom sweeps clean.
BENYA: (Spoken) He wants a round-up. Next...
ZHORA: King, do you know when the round-up will be?
BENYA: It will be tomorrow.
ZHORA: King, it will be today.
BENYA: (Spoken) Boy, who told you so?
ZHORA: Aunt Hanna said so. Do you know Aunt Hanna?
BENYA: I know Aunt Hanna. Next...
ZHORA: The chief gathered the precinct and gave them a speech.
"We need to choke Benya Krik,
Because when you have his Majesty the Czar, you can′t have a king too."
Today, when Krik gives away his sister in marriage, and they will all be there is when we raid...
BENYA: So?
ZHORA: Then the cops began to get worried. They said:
"If we raid them today, during his feast, Benya will get angry, and a lot of blood will flow."
But the chief said: "Our self respect is more important to me"
BENYA: Good, you can go
ZHORA: What do I tell Aunt Hanna about the raid?
BENYA: Tell her, Benya, he knows from the raid.
A new broom sweeps clean.
ALL: A new broom sweeps clean...!
