if it wasn’t for the irish and the jews - billy murray lyrics

[verse 1]
i just returned from europe, i’ve seen london and paris
and i’m glad to get back home to yankee land
in fact the little usa looks better now to me
it’s the real place for the real folks, understand
but still i often sit and think what would this country be
if we hadn’t been like rosenstein and hughes
you’d surely have a kingdom, there’d be no democracy
if it wasn’t for the irish and the jews

[chorus]
what would this rich yankee nation
really, really ever do
if it wasn’t for a [?]
a monaghan or donahue
where would we get our policemen
why uncle sam would have the blues
without the pats and [?] you’d have no big department stores
if it wasn’t for the irish and the jews

[verse 2]
you all know charlie froman and his brother dan, of course
how often have you laughed at louie man?
and lou and joel who used to run the little music hall
and that wonder [?] george in [?]
they’ve all seen caesar daily, charlie ross and andy mac
for years and years they drive away the blues
where would you get your actors from, i’d really like to know
if it wasn’t for the irish and the jews
[chorus]
what would you do for amus*m*nt
there would be no place to go
if it wasn’t for the schuberts
frank mcgee and martha sloan
[?] and billy brady
[?] i mustn’t lose
i want to be the last to say you couldn’t save your play today
if it wasn’t for the irish and the jews

[verse]
[?] about the combination
him i want to make
on saint patrick’s day rosinski
[?]
there’s a [?] feeling
between the [?] and the jews
why, [?] would surely fall and really be no hall at all
if it wasn’t for the irish and the jews
