TAKE AN INDIAN TO LUNCH THIS WEEK
Lyrics and music by Stan Freberg

Stan Freberg with the Billy may Orchestra and the Jud Conlon Singers


Take an Indian to lunch this week ...
Show him we're a regular bunch this week.
Show him we're as liberal as can be ...
Let him know he's almost as good as we.
Make a feathered friend feel fed this week ...
Overlook the fact he's red this week.
Let him share our Quaker Oats,
'Cause he's useful when he votes.
Take an Indian to lunch!

Two, four, six, eight, who do we tolerate?
Indians, Indians, rah, rah, rah!

Take an Indian to lunch this week ...
Let him sit right down and munch this week. 
Let's give in and all do the brotherhood bit ...
Just make sure we don't make a habit of it.
Take an Indian to dine this week ...
Show him we don't draw the line this week.
We know everyone can't be
As American as we ...
(After all, we came over on the Mayflower!)
Take an Indian,
Not a wooden Indian,
But a real, live Indian
To lunch!
