From the recording We Don't Sing No Kumbaya No More
John Palmes on at least two guitars and vocal with Albert Mc Donnell on bass.
This was inspired by a lawsuit in Florida, a parent sued the summer camp their child was attending because Kumbaya has religious connotations.... there are quite a few of those old songs we don't sing anymore ... we've moved on to navel gazing
Lyrics
LYRICS
Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya, we don’t sing no Kumbaya no more.
We don’t all join hands and sway back and forth.
We don’t sing no kumbaya no more
We don’t sing no we shall overcome
We’re gonna leave the overcomin’ to somebody else
We’ve worked hard all our lives, now it’s time to enjoy ourselves,
time to take time out for number one. We don’t sing no we shall overcome.
We don’t sing no Michael Row the Boat Ashore
that “hallelujah” part makes us so uncomfortable.
And if Michael tried to row the boat ashore today,
someone with an Ouzi would blow that fool away.
We don’t sing no Michael Row the Boat Ashore.
And we don’t sing no Kumbaya no more.
How many shares must a corporation sell before they pay dividends?
We don’t sing no Blowin in the Wind.
And if we took half as much as we spend on football
could we feed all the hungry children on this earth?
Well, don’t you worry, it wont happen soon because, we know what money is worth.
We don’t sing no We Shall Overcome.
We Don’t sing no Blowin’ in the Wind.
We Don’t Sing No Michael Row The Boat Ashore,
and we don’t sing no Kumbaya no more.
Kumbaya my Lord kumbaya, we don’t sing no Kumbaya no more.
We don’t all join hands and sway back and forth.
We don’t have strange dreams about putting an end to war
We don’t sing songs about smilin’ on our sisters and our brothers
Living together and loving one another.
We don’t sing no kumbaya no more!
