Let 'Em Eat Cake 1933 'Let 'Em Eat Cake'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 21 Jun 2004

[Wintergreen:] Oh, comrades,
you deserve your daily bread;
that's what I have always said!
But I'll go further:
you shall have a break!
From now on you'll be eating cake!

[Ensemble:] We've always wanted cake,
at last we get that break.

[Wintergreen:] With drums abooming
and our flag unfurled,
this is what I'm telling the world:

[Ensemble:] Comrades, it is clear
the millenium is here!

[Wintergreen:] Let 'em eat cake!
The land of freedom
is free once more.
Let 'em eat cake!
Let there be sunshine
from shore to shore.
Now is the time to be waking!
Come on, let's start!
Now is the time to be taking your part!
Let 'em eat cake!
Good times are coming
the skies are clear!
Let it be known the whole world over,
the new day is here!

Let 'em eat cake!
The land of freedom
is free once more.
Let 'em eat cake!
Let there be sunshine
from shore to shore.
Now is the time to be waking!
Come on, let's start!
Now is the time to be taking your part!
Let 'em eat cake!
Good times are coming
the skies are clear!
Let it be known the whole world over,
the new day is here!
