["A. B. C." speak -- that is, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile.] Pan-America, glorious name! Statesmanlike purpose and brotherly aim! May the gods favor and prosper the plan; But -- who holds the handle and what's in the pan? One man's poison, another man's meat; What's in the pan? Is it wholesome to eat? Good for the North and the Central and South, Pleasant for each Pan-American mouth? Who holds the pan we are called to admire? Any one's fat due to fall in the fire? Pan-America! Excellent plan! But -- who holds the handle and what's in the pan? |
