My fellow Americans
Give me your tired
Your poor
Your homes, your businesses, your money
Just mark "yes" to questions 27 and 28
And I, Mike Masaoka,
Will let you stay right here
In paradise
Desert, swamp, or dusty waste
They say location's key
Sure, you shiver in this ice box
But cheer up, the rent is free
And don't you love to freeze in line for soggy bowls of rice?
Just put up and shut up
'Cause you're in paradise
Is everybody happy?
(No!)
Tough
When it's pitch black dark at night
The army might assume
That you're trying to escape
If you're running to the bathroom
Let them aim their spotlights down
But smile real nice
Just put up and shut up
'Cause you're in paradise
Ain't it grand in paradise?
The water tastes like rust
The bedding's filled with crabby lice
Here's a little sound advice
You better take that sound advice
Just put up and shut up
'Cause you're in paradise!
Now they aim to separate
Disloyals from the rest
All you have to do to pass
Is hold your nose and answer yes
But no-no seals your fate
And you will pay a heavy price
They'll grab you
And send you
Away from paradise
Ain't it grand in paradise?
The snakes will let you be
If you feed them all the mice
If you answer no twice
Lord, if you check it twice
You'll no, no
You'll go, go
Away from paradise
You don't want to take that chance
So answer yes-yes
To the paradise dance!
Whoo!
C'mon, ladies!
Paradise
Hey, everybody
It's for our own good, right?
Paradise
So we better just do what we should, right?
Put up and shut up
Just put up and shut up
Just put up and shut up
Just put and shut up
Just shut it up!
You're in paradise!
Ain't this paradise?
