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
