Yes, I know it worked just dandy For that Indian Mr. Gandhi But with respect for Martin Luther King- I think it's a Negro thing A Southern thing A Christian thing Mister, you don't understand How Dr. King has got things planned Oh, Jews can be nonviolent too There's nothing meeker than a Jew Listen, girlie, we have learned Nonviolence will get you burned No I'm sorry, that ain't so Listen to the radio What we're trying's already working Segregation's already dying I've been on this earth a while Your optimism makes me smile Papa, this is Emmie Good for you, you'rе optimistic Emmie, this is Mr. Stopnick But I think it ain't realistic I'd like to know How you comе to feel You know so much About what is real Sitting safe and high and pretty Way up north in New York City? I'd like to know Emmie! Mama I said quit! He the one started it You know I was reading in the paper just the- Is that so?

Now our resistance A face knows it's no footrest Start to make a difference Regardless of religion or race Here come your 'assistance' Child, you hear me? Hush your mouth Now you march that tray back to the kitchen Lady, please Since I came South, she's my first real conversation Let her stay It's past her bed It's good that she's high-spirited Yes'm, thank you. We'll start cleaning in the kitchen, then go home
