National Brotherhood WeekTom Lehrer

• One week of every year is designated National
  Brotherhood Week. This is just one of many such
  weeks honoring various worthy causes. One of my
  favorites is National Make-fun-of-the-handicapped
  Week which Frank Fontaine and Jerry Lewis are in
  charge of as you know. During National
  Brotherhood Week various special events are
  arranged to drive home the message of
  brotherhood. This year, for example, on the first
  day of the week Malcolm X was killed which gives
  you an idea of how effective the whole thing is.
  I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one
  another and I know there are people in the world
  that do not love their fellow human beings and I
  hate people like that. Here's a song about
  National Brotherhood Week.
• Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,And
  the black folks hate the white folks.To hate all
  but the right folksIs an old established
  rule.But during National Brotherhood Week,
  National Brotherhood Week,Lena Horne and Sheriff
  Clarke are dancing cheek to cheek.It's fun to
  eulogizeThe people you despise,As long as you
  don't let 'em in your school.Oh, the poor folks
  hate the rich folks,And the rich folks hate the
  poor folks.All of my folks hate all of your
  folks,It's American as apple pie.But during
  National Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood
  Week,New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause
  it's very chic.Step up and shake the handOf
  someone you can't stand.You can tolerate him if
  you try.Oh, the Protestants hate the
  Catholics,And the Catholics hate the
  Protestants,And the Hindus hate the Muslims,And
  everybody hates the Jews.But during National
  Brotherhood Week, National Brotherhood Week,It's
  National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood
  Week.Be nice to people whoAre inferior to
  you.It's only for a week, so have no fear.Be
  grateful that it doesn't last all year!
