| Industrialists, the military, peasants are waiting at the airport CHORUS: | 
| She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming | 
| With a great silver bird she’s coming | 
| She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming | 
| With a great silver bird she’s coming | 
| Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha | 
| Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha | 
| Martha: When I was poor I hated it | 
| Always the wolf at the door | 
| Now that I’m rich | 
| I’m so happy | 
| I’ll never be poor anymore | 
| I’ll never be poor anymore | 
| Chorus: Heavy industry | 
| A higher standard of living | 
| Martha: When I was a kid grandma told me | 
| Girl, now you listen to me | 
| Without any money you’re nothing | 
| Without money you’ll never be free | 
| Chorus: Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha | 
| You might be pretty, forget it, forget it | 
| You might be smart but so what | 
| If you don’t have plenty of money | 
| It’s plenty of nothing you’ve got | 
| Heavy industry | 
| A higher standard of living | 
| Hard currency | 
| Martha: I had a friend | 
| I betrayed that friend | 
| Am I an animal or what? | 
| Does not a human heart beat within my breast | 
| Maybe not! | 
| Chorus: Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha | 
| Martha (speaking to the audience): Goodbye, goodbye everyone! | 
| We won’t see each | 
| other ever again. | 
| But in my heart, I’ll always be an | 
| American. | 
| (Some angry grumbling) A north american. | 
| Goodbye and give my regards | 
| to broadway! |
