original broadway cast of caroline, or change - mr. stopnick and emmie lyrics
[mr. stopnick]
yes, i know it worked just dandy
for that indian mr. gandhi
but with respect for martin luther king_
[emmie]
i think it’s a negro thing
a southern thing
a christian thing
mister, you don’t understand
how dr. king has got things planned
[mr. stopnick]
oh, jews can be nonviolent too
there’s nothing meeker than a jew
listen, girlie, we have learned
nonviolence will get you burned
[emmie]
i’m sorry, that ain’t so
listen to the radio
what we’re trying’s already working
segregation’s already dying
[mr. stopnick] [rose]
i’ve been on this earth a while
your optimism makes me smile
papa, this is emmie
good for you, you’rе optimistic
emmie, this is mr. stopnick
but i think it ain’t realistic
[emmie]
i’d like to know
how you comе to feel
you know so much
about what is real
sitting safe and high and pretty
way up north in new york city?
i’d like to know
[caroline]
emmie!
[emmie]
mama
[caroline]
i said quit!
[emmie]
he the one started it
[rose]
you know i was reading in the paper just the_
[emmie] [mr. stopnick]
is that so?
i’d like to know how
why’s it so impossible to know
some guy just off a plane
white or jew or negro
marchin’ in to explain
if the boss’s foot
guess you seen it all plain
is in your face
from the air?
what do you do?
it’s our
shed a tear?
affair
keep lying there?
now our resistance
a face knows it’s no footrest
start to make a difference
regardless of religion or race
here come your ‘assistance’
[caroline]
child, you hear me? hush your mouth
now you march that tray back to the kitchen
[mr. stopnick]
lady, please
since i came south, she’s my first real conversation
let her stay
[caroline]
it’s past her bed
[rose]
it’s good that she’s high_spirited
[caroline]
yes’m, thank you. we’ll start cleaning in the kitchen, then go home
