Weihnachten mit den Marx Brothers

Im Filmmuseum werden zwischen Weihnachten und Silvester wieder Filme der formidablen Marx Brothers gezeigt – Grund genug für uns, ihnen endlich einmal eine Sendung zu widmen. Inklusive Karaoke! Hier der Text zum Mitsingen:

Whatever It Is, I’m Against It

By Harry Ruby (music) and Bert Kalmar (lyrics)
Performed by Groucho Marx in „Horsefeathers“ (1932):

I don’t know what they have to say,/
It makes no difference anyway/
Whatever it is, I’m against it!/
No matter what it is or who commenced it,/
I’m against it.//

Your proposition may be good/
But let’s have one thing understood/
Whatever it is, I’m against it!/
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,/
I’m against it.//

I’m opposed to it/
On general principles I’m opposed to it!//

Chorus: He’s opposed to it!/
In fact, in word, in deed,/
He’s opposed to it!//

For months before my son was born,/
I used to yell from night till morn,/
Whatever it is, I’m against it!/
And I’ve kept yelling since I commenced it,/
I’m against it!//
