All These Immigrants

All These Immigrants
Tim Griffin

All these immigrants from Mexico, what’s all that about?
They’re always speaking Spanish and it really freaks me out
We ought build a wall or we’ll all be out of luck
And then you’ll have to get your lunch from a tasty taco truck!

All these immigrants from Italy, they wave their arms and shout
They do it in Italian and it really freaks me out
We really ought to round them up and send them back to Rome
Or soon they’ll be delivering hot pizza to your home!

All these immigrants from Ireland, it’s really quite a shame
I think they’re speaking English but it doesn’t sound the same
Deport them all to Dublin or I don’t know what we’ll do
When they’re serving fried potatoes at every drive through!

All these immigrants from Germany, they smell like sauerkraut
They’re always speaking German and it really freaks me out
Deport them all to Dusseldorf or it’ll be a shame
When our children ask for hot dogs at every baseball game!

All these immigrants from the Netherlands, they’re actually the Dutch
They settled New York first but I don’t like them very much
We really should deport the Dutch and here’s the reason why:
If we don’t ditch the Dutch, we’ll all be eating apple pie!

All these immigrants from England, what’s all that about?
They’re always speaking English and it kind of freaks me out
But they’re starving in our winter, so we’ll share our food with them
They’ll eat venison and potatoes; corn, squash, and tomatoes…
Like a real American!
