P L A Y B I L LEarl Warren American Inn of Court

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe

free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to

me:

I lift my lamp beside the golden door

You’ve got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to hate and fear

You've got to be taught from year to year

It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear

You've got to be carefully taught

You’ve got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid

of people whose eyes are oddly made

and people whose skin

is a different shade

You've got to be carefully taught

You’ve got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught

Before its too late

Before you are six or seven or eight

to hate all the people your relatives hate

You've got to be carefully taught!

You've got to be carefully taught!

I've been working on the railroad

I've been working on the railroad,It's the only job I'll get,I've been looking for some others,But I ain't found nothing yet,There's-all those Yankee people saying,You're really not my guy,You can keep your Catholic praying,No Irish need apply.

"Shame on the cant and hypocrisy of those who can teach virtue, preach righteousness, and pray blessings for those only with skins colored like their own."

Song for Yick Wo

I once owned a laundry, a laundry so fine,

And they came and told me, I had to resign,

Because I'm from China, and not USA,

The law came to tell me, I had to go 'way.

Song for Yick Wo

My washing's illegal, my ironing's a crime,

And I'd be in trouble, and maybe do time,

So now I'm a poor man, without any work,

And all I can say is THE LAW IS A JERK.

Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves

Now there was a time, when they used to say

That behind every - great man.

There had to be a - great woman.

But oh, in these times of change

you know that it’s no longer true.

Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves

So were comin out of the kitchen

cause there's somethin we forgot to say to you

We say sisters are doin it for themselves.

Standin on their own two feet.

And ringin on their own bells.

We say sisters are doin it for themselves.

Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves

Now this is a song, to celebrate

We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too.

Everybody - take a look around.

Can you see - can you see - can you see

There's a woman right next to you.

Sisters Are Doing It for Themselves

We say sisters are doin it for themselves.

Standin on their own two feet.

And ringin on their own bells.

Sisters are doin it for themselves.

Standin on their own two feet.

And ringin on their own bells.

On the Street Where You Live Song by Patty Patrician

I am white and rich, and I feel secure

That my neighborhood, will be ethnically pure

Neither black no Jew

Will impair the view,

Not right here on the street where I live.

On the Street Where You Live Song by Patty Patrician

I've a covenant, and I'll go to court,To enforce my rights,

and to get support,With judicial aid,I will have it made,And keep them off the street where I live.

On the Street Where You Live Song by Charlie Goldfarb

I have often rode, through this neighborhood,

But my looking never really did me any good,

‘cause we couldn't buy,

Couldn't even try,

As a Jew on the street where you live.

On the Street Where You Live Song by Charlie Goldfarb

There's a covenant, that is writ in stone,

Says you cannot sell, says we cannot own,

To live near a Jew

Simply wouldn't do

Not right here on the street where you live.

On the Street Where You Live

Not right here on the street where you live.

Not right here on the street where I live

I walk alone

I walk alone,

Because the law says I have to be lonely,

I don't want to be lonely,

But the law tells me you'll

Be lonely too.

I walk alone

I walk alone,

Because the love that we share is not lawful.

Courts decree that it's awful,

For a black and a white,

To have the right.

I walk alone

We walk alone,

Because the law says that we cannot marry,

It's a burden we carry,

‘Cause of color of skin,

We must begin,

To walk alone.

Love and Marriage

Love and marriage, love and marriage

Go together like a horse and carriage

This I tell you brother

You can’t have one without the other

Love and Marriage

Love and marriage, love and marriage

It’s an institute you can’t disparage

Ask the local gentry

And they will say it’s elementary

Love and Marriage

Try, try, try to separate them

It’s an illusion

Try, try, try, and you will only come

To this conclusion

Love and Marriage

Love and marriage, love and marriage

Go together like a horse and carriage

This I tell you brother

You can’t have one

You can’t have none

You can’t have one without the other
