Mayor Pennypacker:
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 out Quaker Oats
'Cause he's useful when he votes
Take an Indian to lunch
Pilgrim Chorus:
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
Mayor Pennypacker:
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
