It takes a lot of men to make a gun
Hundreds
Many men to make a gun
Men in the mines
To dig the iron
Men in the mills
To forge the steel
Men at machines
To turn the barrel
Mold the trigger
Shape the wheel
It takes a lot of men to make a gun
One gun
[BOOTH]
And all you have to do
Is move your little finger
Move your little finger and
You can change the world Why should you be blue
When you've your little finger
Prove how just a little finger
Can change the world
[CZOLGOSZ]
I hate this gun [GUITEAU]
What a wonder is a gun
What a versatile invention
First of all, when you've a gun
Everybody pays attention
When you think what must be done
Think of all that it can do
Remove a scoundrel
Unite a party
Preserve the Union
Promote the sales of my book
Ensure my future
My niche in history
And then the world will see
That I am not a man to overlook
Ha-ha!
[GUITEAU, BOOTH, CZOLGOSZ]
And all you have to do is
Squeeze your little finger
Ease your little finger back
You can change the world
Whatever else is true, you
Trust your little finger
Just a single little finger
Can change the world
[MOORE]
I got this really great gun—
sh**, where is it—?
No, it's really great—
Wait—
sh**, where is it?
Anyway, it's just a .38—
But—it's a gun
You can make a statement—
Wrong—
With a gun—
Even if you fail
It tells 'em who you are
Where you stand
This one was on sale
It—no, not the shoe—
Well, actually the shoe was, too
No, that's not it—
sh**, I had it there—got it!
Yeah! There it is! And—
[ALL]
All you have to do
Is crook your little finger
Hook your little finger 'round—
[MOORE]
sh**, I shot it
[OTHERS]
—You can change the world
Change the world...
[QUARTET, variously]
Simply follow through
And look, you little finger can
Slow them down
To a crawl
Show them all
Big and small
It took a little finger no time
To change the world
[CZOLGOSZ]
A gun k**s many men before it's done
Hundreds
Long before you shoot the gun
Men in the mines
And in the steel mills
Men at machines
Who died for what
Something to buy—
A watch, a shoe, a gun
A thing to make the bosses richer
But a gun claims many men before it's done
Just one more
