ALL MIXED UP 
(Pete Seeger)
Peter, Paul, & Mary


You know this language that we speak, is part german , latin and 
part greek 
Celtic and arabic all in a heap, well amended by the people in the 
street 
The Choctaw gave us the word "okay"; "vamose" is a word from Mexico 
way. And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next. 

Chorus: 
I think that this whole world 
Soon mama my whole wide world 
Soon mama my whole world 
Soon gonna be get mixed up. 
Soon mama my whole world 
Soon mama my whole wide world 
Soon mama my whole world 
Soon gonna be get mixed up. 

I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice, and pizza pie is also 
nice 
Corn and beans from the Indians here washed down by German beer 
Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony, he brought to Italy, the 
first macaroni 
And you and I as well we're able, we put it all on the table 

(Chorus) 

There were no red-headed Irishmen before the Vikings landed in 
Ireland 
How many Romans had dark curly hair before they brought slaves from 
Africa? 
No race of man is completely pure, nor is anyone's mind, that's for 
sure 
The winds mix the dust of every land, and so will woman and man. 

(Chorus) 

This doesn't mean we will all be the same, 
We'll have different faces and different names 
Long live many different kinds of races 
It's a difference of opinion that makes horse races 
Just remember the rule about rules, brother 
What could be right for one could be wrong for the other 
And take a tip from La Belle France: "Viva la difference!" 

(Chorus)
