Landau James E.f - Duly Untaught lyrics

rate me

(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!

PITTMAN

I 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!
