| Industrialists, the military, peasants are waiting at the airport CHORUS:
|
| She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming
|
| With a great silver bird she’s coming
|
| She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming
|
| With a great silver bird she’s coming
|
| Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha
|
| Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha
|
| Martha: When I was poor I hated it
|
| Always the wolf at the door
|
| Now that I’m rich
|
| I’m so happy
|
| I’ll never be poor anymore
|
| I’ll never be poor anymore
|
| Chorus: Heavy industry
|
| A higher standard of living
|
| Martha: When I was a kid grandma told me
|
| Girl, now you listen to me
|
| Without any money you’re nothing
|
| Without money you’ll never be free
|
| Chorus: Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha
|
| You might be pretty, forget it, forget it
|
| You might be smart but so what
|
| If you don’t have plenty of money
|
| It’s plenty of nothing you’ve got
|
| Heavy industry
|
| A higher standard of living
|
| Hard currency
|
| Martha: I had a friend
|
| I betrayed that friend
|
| Am I an animal or what?
|
| Does not a human heart beat within my breast
|
| Maybe not!
|
| Chorus: Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha
|
| Martha (speaking to the audience): Goodbye, goodbye everyone! |
| We won’t see each
|
| other ever again. |
| But in my heart, I’ll always be an
|
| American. |
| (Some angry grumbling) A north american. |
| Goodbye and give my regards
|
| to broadway! |
