Sleepwalking in the garden of fascism: “Merrily we roll along!”
Too many frowns can change the brightest disposition
As sure as clouds can darken the dawn
Yet every joy in life has been our one ambition.
And that’s how we intend to go on!
…
Merrily we roll along, my honey and me
Verily there’s no one half as happy as we
…
Merrily we dance along while facing the sun
Merrily our slogan is: ‘say, don’t we have fun?’
We live in style, with a smile and a song
As we merrily roll along!
…
Though we often quarrel for it’s human I’m sure
But we find there’s nothing that a kiss cannot cure
We’re for each other, how can we go wrong?
As we merrily roll along!

If America chooses the second path, what could possibly go wrong?
