They're dancing in the alley Wearing clown masks Calling for peace What are we going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane The west is burning The east is drowning What are we going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane The night is broken The day is howling The moon is rising Nightblooming Jasmine the air is alive We're all sweating in endless summer The heat is on Though we're freezing cold What's it going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane Grinding poverty Those that have the money live Those that don't die That's the way it is What's it going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane Trying to remember Love is all we know All we know. What's it going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane

Little Liza Jane
They're dancing in the alley Wearing clown masks Calling for peace What are we going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane The west is burning The east is drowning What are we going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane The night is broken The day is howling The moon is rising Nightblooming Jasmine the air is alive We're all sweating in endless summer The heat is on Though we're freezing cold What's it going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane Grinding poverty Those that have the money live Those that don't die That's the way it is What's it going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane Trying to remember Love is all we know All we know. What's it going to be? Little Liza Little Liza Jane
Little Liza Jane, an American folksong, done many times, in many ways. My version. Originally published in 1916, but goes back before that.
