Danger Danger |
You got Ma Rainey talkin' 'bout a jelly roll |
Chuck Berry workin' on a mojo |
Bessie Smith singin' Bull Dagger Blues |
Elvis twiching on the evening news |
Danger, danger, can’t you see |
That sex should stay a mystery |
So ban that music, yessirree |
That’s what America means to me |
We gonna ban Walt Whitman, and Jean Cocteau |
All the queers will have to go |
Mr. Tennessee Williams, Plato too |
You got to give J. Edgar Hoover his due |
Danger, danger, can’t you see |
They’re in your local library |
So ban those authors, yessirree |
That’s what America means to me, yeah |
We gonna ban all the dagos, the wops and the kikes |
Gonna ban all the chinks and the towelhead types |
Ban all the wetbacks, ban all the fags |
Wrap it up tight in the American flag |
Danger, danger, can’t you see |
It’s dangerous when they are free |
So ban those lazy refugees |
That’s what America means to me |
I watched the news last night at nine |
Saw a head blown off somebody’s spine |
The women moaned and the children screamed |
Doesn’t anybody else think that’s obscene? |
It ought to be a felony |
To practice such stupidity |
But it’s my right, as you can see |
That’s what America means to me, yeah |
