Americans <\/strong>
\nHow d’ye do? How are you?
\nIt’s a beautiful day
\nHere in Battery Park
\nPerfect, wouldn’t you say?
\nEverybody is here
\nNice to meet you again
\nHaven’t seen you, my dear
\nNot since Heaven knows when!<\/p>\n

That’s a beautiful dress
\nAll done up with a bow
\nIt’s the gift of a man
\nBut his wife doesn’t know!
\nYes there’s many a man
\nKeeps his wife in the dark
\nAs they go for a walk
\nOn the shores of New York
\nJust an old-fashioned walk
\nOn a Sunday in Battery Park<\/p>\n

Danjel <\/strong>
\nI thank you, Lord, on this day of deliverance
\nFor all the suffering you’ve visited upon me
\nTell me what I must do, please,
\nHelp me conquer my fear<\/p>\n

Fina-Kajsa<\/strong>
\nI have a son up in East Minnesota
\nGrindstones, he says, are no good in this country
\nThousands of miles I have carried his stone
\nThey don’t know how to make them out here<\/p>\n

Robert <\/strong>
\nLook at her, Arvid
\nThat ship over there
\nSoon it sails for California!
\nOut to the goldfields
\nImagine that, Arvid
\nTo dig for gold and be rich!<\/p>\n

Americans <\/strong>
\nHow d’ye do, how are you?
\nWhat a heavenly day
\nHere in Battery Park
\nLook who’s coming this way<\/p>\n

It’s that rich Mr. Clark
\nLeads a miserable life
\nAlways under the thumb
\nOf his Mexican wife<\/p>\n

Here comes Sheriff O’Shea
\nQuite the cock of the walk
\nHe’ll be Mayor one day
\nHe’ll be boss of New York
\nHe is making his name
\nHe is making his mark
\nIt’s a thrill, don’t you know
\nJust to walk to and fro
\nMake a bit of a show
\nOn a Sunday in Battery Park<\/p>\n

Immigrant Women <\/strong>
\nLook at that pretty skirt
\nLook at that yellow hat
\nAren’t they remarkable?
\nWho wears a hat like that?<\/p>\n

Immigrants <\/strong>
\nGibberish is their tongue
\nCan’t catch the tang of it
\nCan’t make no sense of it
\nDon’t get the hang of it
\nWe feel numb
\nHelpless and dumb<\/p>\n

Americans <\/strong>
\nHow d’ye do? How are you?
\nIt’s a beautiful day
\nHere in Battery Park
\nPerfect, wouldn’t you say?
\nEverybody is here
\nNice to meet you again
\nHaven’t seen you, my dear
\nNot since Heaven knows when!<\/p>\n

That’s a beautiful dress
\nAll done up with a bow
\nIt’s the gift of a man
\nBut his wife doesn’t know!
\nYes there’s many a man
\nKeeps his wife in the dark
\nAs they go for a walk
\nOn the shores of New York
\nJust an old-fashioned walk
\nOn a Sunday in Battery Park<\/p>\n
