“So Long, Partner” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Larry Penn.
Tune: Larry Penn.
They will ask you to be partners in production;
They’ll invite you to come in and be a friend.
And they’ll keep the promise goin’ while the money’s rollin’ in,
But it will be so long, partner, in the end.
They will ask you to come in and share the burden
In the awesome task to keep them from the red.
And they’ll keep you in the dream while the money’s nice and green,
But it will be so long, partner, in the end.
Now, they’ll tell you not to worry ’bout the farmer
Even though he feeds you now and then.
It should come as no surprise; it’s just “Free Enterprise,”
And they’ll tell him so long, partner, in the end.
They will ask you to be partners in production,
And they’re asking us for soldiers once again.
So, I’ll say it just once more if we have to go to war,
It will just be so long, partner, in the end.
