Pete Seeger - The Jack Ash Society lyrics

Your rating:

A bunch of jack ashes at large in this land
Have suffered a terrible fright
They looked under their beds and discovered such reds
As Allen and Milton and Dwight

If more you would know of this Jack-Ash credo
See the blue book, the black book, the white
If you do you will find we're all Reds of some kind,
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight

Joe McCarthy is dead, so Jack Ash instead
Leads the anti-Communist fight
U. S. Reds he has found swarming all around.
(179 million so far)
Including Allen and Milton and Dwight

If you believe in more hospitals, housing, and schools
New highways and civil rights
The Ashites will add you to the un-American list
Along with Allen and Milton and Dwight

Social security's a Bolshevik plot
Cooked up by some shrewd Muscovite
So go naked you must or be security risk
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight

Beware of good pay and the minimum wage
It's part of the Socialist blight
Created by conspirators bold
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight

Unemployment insurance is another Red trick
That slipped by in the dark of the night
So send back your checks lest you share their fate
Of Allen and Milton and Dwight

These Jack-Ashes are drawing the lunatic fringe
Assembling on the right
Barry's their man, he has no pinkish tan
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight

There 's a man sitting on the Un-American Committee
He's a Jack-Ash Society-ite
I wonder what day he will send a subpoena
To Allen and Milton and Dwight

The Jack-Ashes say that in World War II
We should have joined with the Third Reich
Adolph can pass their loyalty test
But not Allen and Milton and Dwight

They want us to prepare for a nuclear war
Kill everything human in sight
And if you'd rather live, you're a Communist dupe
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight

So all the Jack-Ashes should take some advice
Wake up and start seeing the light
Their fuhrer may find they are Red agents too
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight

Now a candy bar's sweet, milk chocolate's a treat
But ponder before you bite
The worms hiding inside may shrivel your hides
Like Allen and Milton and Dwight
