Song: Who will Survive?

I WILL SURVIVE…At first there were the Indians Then the English cameAnd they threw them all into the seaHaving no one to blame

But they spent so many nightsThinking how they did them wrongBut they grew strongAnd learnt how to get along

And now they’re backWith a huge turkeyIt looks so delicious can’t believe my eyesWhy don’t you hand it in now guys?

Is it the Indians that will eat it?Or will the pilgrims get in their wayWho will it be?I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

Oh no now go! Start the warJust go on nowcause I can’t take this anymore

Weren’t you the ones,Who wanted everything for yourselves?You thought they’ve goneBut now you have to play along Oh no now who?

Who will survive?Only the strongest one will prevailAnd in the end stay aliveYou had all your lives to liveYou had all those turkeys to giveWho will survive?Who will survive?Who? Who?

It took all the strength you hadNot to fall apartKept trying hard to winThe pieces of the turkey tart

You wanted oh so badIt made you feel extremely sadYou used to cryBut now you hold your heads up high

And you see themSome people newIn this land there’s no moreAnybody here but you

So they felt like dropping inAnd you expect to stay freeBut now you’re saving all your strengthTo eat that oh so huge turkey

Oh no now go! Start the warJust go on nowcause I can’t take this anymore

Weren’t you the ones,wanted everything for yourselves?You thought they’ve goneBut now you have to play along

Oh no now who?Who will survive?Only the strongest one will prevailAnd in the end stay aliveYou had all your lives to liveYou had all those turkeys to give

Who will survive?Who will survive?Who? Who?
