They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain
There's hurricanes in Flo-ri-da
And Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans, the Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs, South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much!

But we can be tranquil and thankful and proud
For man's been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain that some lovely day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away!

They're rioting in Africa (whistling)
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't so to us
Will be done by our fellow man

The Kingston Trio - The Merry Little Minuet

This song was sung by myself and John Hatton at the 1997 high school Model U.N. convention as our country's (Bhutan's) opening statement. One of my best memories. Some of the older folks in charge weren't too apperciative, though the other delegates and numerous others thoroughly enjoyed it.
