Testo The Real Ambassador - Dave Brubeck
Testo della canzone The Real Ambassador (Dave Brubeck), tratta dall'album Ken Burns Jazz
Who's the real ambassador?
It is evident we represent American society
Noted for its etiquette, its manners and sobriety
We have followed protocol with absolute propriety
We're Yankees to the core
We're the real ambassadors
Though we may appear as bores
We are diplomats in our proper hats
Our attire becomes habitual
Along with all the ritual
The diplomatic corps
Has been analyzed and criticized by NBC and CBS
Senators and congressmen are so concerned they can't recess
State Department stands in awe your coup d'état has met success
And caused this great uproar
Who's the real ambassador? Yeah!
The real ambassador!
Who's the real ambassador?
It is evident we represent American society
Noted for its etiquette, its manners and sobriety
We have followed protocol with absolute propriety
We're Yankees to the core
We're the real ambassadors
Though we may appear as bores
We are diplomats in our proper hats
Our attire becomes habitual
Along with all the ritual
The diplomatic corps
Has been analyzed and criticized by NBC and CBS
Senators and congressmen are so concerned they can't recess
State Department stands in awe your coup d'état has met success
And caused this great uproar
Who's the real ambassador? Yeah!
The real ambassador!
I'm the real ambassador
It is evident I was sent by government to take your place
All I do is play the blues and meet the people face to face
I'll explain and make it plain I represent the human race
And don't pretend no more
Who's the real ambassador
Certain facts we can't ignore
In my humble way, I'm the USA
Though I represent the government
The government don't represent some policies I'm for
Oh, we learned to be concerned about the constitutionality
In our nation segregation isn't a legality
Soon our only differences will be in personality
That's what I stand for
Who's the real ambassador?
Yes, the real ambassador
In his humble way, he's the USA
Though he represents the government
The government don't represent some policies he's for
Oh, we learned to be concerned about the constitutionality
In our nation segregation isn't a legality
Soon our only differences will be in personality
That's what I stand for
He's the real ambassador
Yes, the real ambassador!
