Duly Untaught - Lyrics by Landau James E-F


Lyrics
(
Parody of "
Carefully Taught" from South Pacific)PITTMAN
You'll just have to learn, when up you are brought,
There are people like you, and then those who are not,
And if they're not like you, to treat them like snot,BLUMBERG
You'll have to be duly untaught!PITTMAN
If their skin looks much darker than yours ever will,
Your com - pat - i - bil - i - ty index is nil,
It seems fun to try and get to know them, but still,BLUMBERG
You'll have to be duly untaught!PITTMAN
You've just got to learn to ostracize,
Those with epicanthic folds over their eyes,I mean it -- these aren't propaganda and lies --BLUMBERG
You'll have to be duly untaught!PITTMAN
With people with noses of different length,
Whose thigh muscles evolved for a different strength,
God meant you to be on a different wavelength,BLUMBERG
You'll have to be duly untaught!PITTMAN
The way it was made, is there's some sort of hex,
On people with joints made to differently flex,
Whose skulls are a different cephalic index,BLUMBERG
You'll have to be duly untaught!PITTMANI distrusted tongues that were other than mine,
Younger on than eleven, or ten, even nine,
And now, to all Them, I'll deliver the line:"
You've just got to learn the 'right' way".BLUMBERG
You'll have to be duly untaught!
Their racist upbringing gets constantly worse,
And they won't get along in this world so diverse,
But I'll end, since this song's getting worse every verse,
You'll have to be duly untaught!
