I was feeling sad and kind of blue
I didn't know what I was going to do
The communists was a-comin' around, they was in the air, they was on the ground,
they was all over.
So I run down most hurriedly
And joined the John Birch society
Got me a secret membership card, went back home to the yard,
Started looking on the sidewalk.
Under the hedges.
Well I got up in the morning and looked under my bed
I was lookin' everyplace for them goldarn reds
Looked behind the sink and under the floor
Looked in the glove compartment of my car, couldn't find any.
Looked behind the clothes, behind the chair
Lookin for them reds everywhere
Looked up my chimney hole even deep down inside my toilet bowl, they got away.
Well I heard some footprints by the front porch door so I grabbed my shotgun from
the floor,
Snuck around the house with a huff and a hiss, saying Hands
up
you
communist!
It was the mailman.
He punched me out.
Well I was sitting home alone and I started to sweat,
I figured they was in my TV set
I peeped behind the picture frame, got a shock from my feet that hit my brain
Them reds did it.
Hootenanny television.
I quit my job so I could work alone,
Got a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes.
Following some clues from my detective bag, I discovered
Red stripes in the American flag!
Betsy Ross.
Now Eisenhower he's a Russian spy
Lincoln and Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy
And to my knowledge there's just one man
That's really and truly an American
And that's George Lincoln Rockwell.
I know for a fact he hates commies, cos he picketed the movie 'Exodus'.
Well I finally started thinking straight when I run out of things to investigate
Couldn't imagine nothing else so now I'm home, investigating myself.
Hope I don't find out too much.
Good God.
