| [00:03.540] | Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue, |
| [00:05.316] | I didn't know what in the world I was gonna do, |
| [00:07.406] | Them Communists they wus comin' around, |
| [00:09.287] | They wus in the air, |
| [00:10.253] | They wus on the ground. |
| [00:11.194] | They wouldn't gimme no peace. . . |
| [00:12.840] | |
| [00:20.049] | So I run down most hurriedly |
| [00:21.721] | And joined up with the John Birch Society, |
| [00:24.229] | I got me a secret membership card |
| [00:25.692] | And started off a-walkin' down the road. |
| [00:29.218] | Oh boy, I'm a real John Bircher now! |
| [00:33.293] | Look out,you commies！ |
| [00:34.861] | |
| [00:40.895] | Now we all agree with ***' views, |
| [00:42.985] | Although he killed six million Jews. |
| [00:44.683] | It don't matter too much that he was a Fascist, |
| [00:46.459] | At least you can't say he was a Communist! |
| [00:50.142] | That's to say like if you got a cold you take a shot of malaria. |
| [00:53.173] | |
| [00:59.573] | Well, I wus lookin' everywhere for them Reds. |
| [01:01.532] | I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed, |
| [01:03.961] | Looked the stove, behind the door, |
| [01:05.555] | Looked in the glove compartment of my car. |
| [01:07.174] | Couldn't find 'em . . . |
| [01:08.010] | |
| [01:17.075] | I wus lookin' everything behind the chair. |
| [01:20.627] | I wus lookin' for them Reds everywhere, |
| [01:22.012] | I looked way up my chimney hole, |
| [01:23.449] | I even looked deep inside my toilet bowl. |
| [01:25.277] | They got away . . . |
| [01:26.035] | |
| [01:35.622] | Well, I wus sittin' home alone an' started to sweat, |
| [01:37.633] | Figured they wus in my T.V. set. |
| [01:41.578] | I peeked behind the picture frame, |
| [01:42.727] | Got a shock from my feet, hittin' right up in the brain. |
| [01:45.235] | Them Reds did it! |
| [01:49.336] | I know they did . . . them hard-core ones. |
| [01:51.635] | |
| [01:59.315] | I quit my job so I could work alone, |
| [02:01.300] | Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes. |
| [02:02.998] | Followed some clues from my detective bag |
| [02:05.036] | And discovered they wus red stripes on the American flag! |
| [02:13.447] | Ol' Betty Ross . . . |
| [02:14.492] | |
| [02:25.803] | Well, I investigated all the books in the library, |
| [02:27.736] | Ninety percent of 'em gotta be burned away. |
| [02:29.773] | I investigated all the people that I knowed, |
| [02:31.707] | Ninety-eight percent of them gotta go. |
| [02:36.382] | The other two percent are fellow Birchers . . . just like me. |
| [02:40.170] | |
| [02:50.907] | Now Eisenhower, he's a Russian spy, |
| [02:52.683] | Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy. |
| [02:54.616] | To my knowledge there's just one man |
| [02:56.444] | That's really a true American: George Lincoln Rockwell. |
| [03:03.889] | I know for a fact he hates Commies cus he picketed the movie Exodus. |
| [03:06.789] | |
| [03:17.029] | Well, I fin'ly started thinkin' straight |
| [03:18.753] | When I run outa things to investigate. |
| [03:21.078] | Couldn't imagine doin' anything else, |
| [03:22.515] | So now I'm sittin' home investigatin' myself! |
| [03:26.433] | Hope I don't find out nothing . . . hmm, great God! |
| [00:03.540] | Well, I was feelin' sad and feelin' blue, |
