National Brotherhood Week
(Introduction, spoken:)
One week of every year is designated National Brotherhood Week.
This is just one of many such weeks honoring various worthy causes.
One of my favorites is National Make-Fun-Of-The-Handicapped Week,
which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in charge of as you know.
During National Brotherhood Week various special events are arranged
to drive home the message of brotherhood - this year, for example,
on the first day of the week, Malcolm X was killed, which gives you
an idea of how effective the whole thing is.
I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another,
and I know there are people in the world who do not love
their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that!
Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week:
Oh, the white folks
hate the black folks.
And the black folks,
hate the white folks
To hate all but the right folks
is an old established rule
But during...
National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
Lena Horn and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek, it's
fun to eulogize the
people you despise
as long you don't let them in your school.
Oh, the poor folks, hate the rich folks
and the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks.
It's american as apple pie.
But during...
National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week
New Yorkers Love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chique
Stand up and shake the hand of
someone you can't stand
you can tolerate him if you try.
Oh the protestants hate the catholics
and the catholics hate the protestants
and the hindus hate the muslims
and everybody hates the jews, but during
National Brotherhood Week
National Brotherhood Week its
national everyone smile at
one another-hood week, be
nice to people who are
inferior to you. it's only for a week so have no fear
be grateful that it doesn't last all year
