McDonald built the subway and his name we'll not forget A word of praise is due to Nathan Strauss For pasteurizing babies milk, the world owes him a debt He's a friend to every kiddie in the house Without Big Tim Sullivan what would the Bowery do? Just ask the man that needs a pair of shoes There wouldn't be an East Side in the City of New York If it wasn't for the Irish and the Jews. Hear my words and make a note - on St. Patrick's day Rosinsky pins a shamrock on his coat There's a sympathetic feeling - between the Blooms and MacAdoos Why, Tammany would surely fall - there's really be no Hall at all - If it wasn't for the Irish and the Jews. What would we do for amusement, there'd be no place to go If it wasn't for the Shubert, Frank McKee and Marcus Loewe K and E and Billy Brady, Hammerstein I must include I once heard Dave Belasco say you couldn't stage a play today If it wasn't for the Irish and the Jews.
