Talkin John Birch Paranoid Blues |
| Well, I was feelin sad and feelin blue, |
| I didnt know what in the world I was gonna do, |
| Them communists they wus comin around, |
| They wus in the air, |
| They wus on the ground. |
| They wouldnt gimme no peace.. . |
| So I run down most hurriedly |
| And joined up with the john birch society, |
| I got me a secret membership card |
| And started off a-walkin down the road. |
| Yee-hoo, Im a real john bircher now! |
| Look out you commies! |
| Now we all agree with hitlers views, |
| Although he killed six million jews. |
| It dont matter too much that he was a fascist, |
| At least you cant say he was a communist! |
| Thats to say like if you got a cold you take a shot of malaria. |
| Well, I wus lookin everywhere for them gol-darned reds. |
| I got up in the mornin n looked under my bed, |
| Looked in the sink, behind the door, |
| Looked in the glove compartment of my car. |
| Couldnt find em. |
| .. |
| I wus lookin high an low for them reds everywhere, |
| I wus lookin in the sink an underneath the chair. |
| I looked way up my chimney hole, |
| I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl. |
| They got away. |
| .. |
| Well, I wus sittin home alone an started to sweat, |
| Figured they wus in my t.v. |
| set. |
| Peeked behind the picture frame, |
| Got a shock from my feet, hittin right up in the brain. |
| Them reds caused it! |
| I know they did. |
| .. them hard-core ones. |
| Well, I quit my job so I could work alone, |
| Then I changed my name to sherlock holmes. |
| Followed some clues from my detective bag |
| And discovered they wus red stripes on the american flag! |
| That ol betty ross. |
| .. |
| Well, I investigated all the books in the library, |
| Ninety percent of em gotta be burned away. |
| I investigated all the people that I knowed, |
| Ninety-eight percent of them gotta go. |
| The other two percent are fellow birchers. |
| .. just like me. |
| Now eisenhower, hes a russian spy, |
| Lincoln, jefferson and that roosevelt guy. |
| To my knowledge theres just one man |
| Thats really a true american: george lincoln rockwell. |
| I know for a fact he hates commies cus he picketed the movie exodus. |
| Well, I finly started thinkin straight |
| When I run outa things to investigate. |
| Couldnt imagine doin anything else, |
| So now Im sittin home investigatin myself! |
| Hope I dont find out anything. |
| .. hmm, great god! |
