Harmony, unforgettable harmony
Harmony, first there was harmony
And there was rhyme
This was our time Harmony, did we have harmony
And that's just about all we had!
Suddenly a little harmony
And the poverty's not so bad Thin, we were, poor as sin in Berlin, we were
Patches on our pants, mercif'lly, when you're in harmony
You're in a trance others went marching
Not us, we'd dance No one in Grodno Gubernia
Ever learned to dance like this Believe it or not I was a rabbi before all this started!
In Grodno Gubernia yet If you're in Grodno Gubernia
Tell 'em, this you shouldn't miss Harmony, all arm in arm were we
Well, except when the punches flew
Squabbles, sure but squabbles don't endure
When there's harmony in the brew Then did we, oh, so splendidly blend, did we
Like a spell had come it was clear
My pals and I could hear a different drum
Outside they hollered but we had harmony In this joint all encounters with counterpoint
End in harmony and it's clear
No man's a solo here
Not even me, no solo mio No we've got harmony when we've got harmony
Then just maybe we've got a chance
Harmony, the best is harmony
And the rest is a song and dance Where you find you're in harmony
There you find shelter in a storm
Every note a button on the coat
That keeps you warm Stars have the heavens but we've got harmony
Harmony, harmony, harmony
Troubles disappear and what you feel is what you hear
Not what you see, yes, first there was, harmony
