"We Are There" - a song in the Duckman cartoon show (America episode)
We Are There
Children:
We are hope and love
We are everywhere
When hearts need to believe
When we dare to care
We are there
Wilbur Nelson/children:
Every German who chugs a beer
We are there
Every African who throws a spear
We are there
(Children are singing "We are there" after every line from here on)
Syncube:
Every Chinaman in a junk
Every Mexican in a trunk
Sal Manella:
Every Bedouin on a dune
Every Frenchman playing "Claire de Lune"
Stone:
Every Syrian or Kazakhstani
Every Giorgio and his Armani
Cornfed:
Every Spaniard playing second flute
Every Dane Norwegian and Aleut
Bernice:
Every single guy who's Aborigine
Every Englishman who's Walter Pidgeon-y
Ajax:
From Hollywood home of big celebrities
To Vanuatu, the old new Hebrides
Charles/Mambo:
From New Yorkers eating Steak Tartare
To every friend of Pablo Escobar
Nelson:
From the Taiwanese and Cuban Petes
To the Russians with their soup of beets
Syncube:
Every Tamil, Tartar, Thai, Tibetan
and anybody else that we're forgettin'
Manella:
Everyone from Niger, Tonga, Bali
The French Sudan which is now called Mali
Stone:
Everybody up in Katmandu
Every Canadian, 'cause we're there too, eh?
Cornfed (doing the speaking monologue over a chorus of We are theres): You seemed
even more manic and unstable than usual, so I followed you. One thing
puzzles me, how did you know the smell of her note came from this particular
landfill's rotting food?
Duckman: Alimentary, my dear Cornfed. I was here just last week. Don't tell
Bernice, but I got her a burial plot for her birthday.
Cornfed: Mums the word.
America: Duckman, you were right. I can't give up on my children, how can I ever thank you?
Duckman: Just take care of them.
America: I will, I promise.
...more we are there's
Duckman: You know Cornacius, I think everything's going to work out just fine for America.
America: Kids, why don't we all go out for ice cream, my treat. Could someone float me
a long-term loan, I'm broke.
...Resuming singing,
Cornfed:
Every Tajikistani with a yak
Every Bolivian in a sack
Bernice:
Ever caner in Singapore
Everybody who's really sore
Ajax:
Every Turk in a Teaneck diner
or South African diamond miner
Charles/Mambo:
Every gypsy playing finger cymbals
Anyone who ever shopped at Gimbals
Children:
We are there
We are there
We are there
We are there
We are there
We are there
We are there
