Lyrics Washington Breakdown - Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger

Washington Breakdown

Franklin D., listen to me
You ain’t a-gonna send me 'cross the sea
'Cross the sea, 'cross the sea, You ain’t a-gonna send me 'cross the sea
You may say it’s for defense
But that kinda talk that I’m against
I’m against, I’m against
That kinda talk ain’t got no sense
Lafayette, we are here, we’re gonna stay right over here…
Marcantonio is the best, but I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the rest…
J. P. Morgan’s big and plump, eighty-four inches around the rump…
Wendell Wilkie and Franklin D., seems to me they both agree
Both agreed, both agreed
Both agree on killin' me
