  AMERIKA
  I$ REALLY $OMETHING!
  NEW YORK I$ $WELL!
  THOUGH THERE'$ TRUTH TO THE FABLE
  AMERIKANS WOR$HIP MONEY.
  KAPITALI$M I$ AN I$M
  THAT I$ QUITE ALIVE AND WELL
  BUT THE LAND OF LINCOLN AND GABLE
  I$ A LAND OF MILD AND HONEY.

TOM

My dear father - here I am in the United States of America, in New York. What am I to tell you of this most astonishing city in this most unusual nation? Is it what I expected? Yes and no - and boy am I glad to get here!
(Sings)
  A LAND OF HOPE 
  AND NEW BEGINNING$
  NEW YORK I$ WILD!
  EVEN THOUGH IT$ A CITY
  IN A GREAT DEPRE$$ION.
  DOUBTING THOMA$E$ DOUBT PROMI$E$
  THAT EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD
  WILL $OON BE $ITTING PRETTY
  NEXT TIME CONGRE$$ I$ IN $E$$ION.

GEORGE AND TOM

THERE ARE NO CLASSES.
ONLY RICH OR POOR,
AND MO$T OF THE MA$$E$
ARE $OMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE.

AND THERE'S A FEELING -
IF THE COUNTRY GOES TO WAR -
THEY CAN SEND THE NAZIS REELING!

  MEANWHILE, EUROPE BURNS
AND CHAMBERLAIN PLAYS HIS FIDDLE
