Oh Mommy

     
 
Oh, mommy, I ain't no commie
I'm just doing what I can to live the good old all American way
It says right there in the constitution
It's really A-OK to have a revolution
When the leaders that you choose
Really don't fit their shoes

Oh, mister, I ain't no sister
I believe in the Bill Of Rights,
 

Come on don't you start a fight please
I like to wear my hair long
How can there be anything wrong
When you've already accused me twice
Of looking like Jesus Christ
Hallelujah

 

I'm only gettin' tired of playing Punch and Judy
I'm really half a mind to go and do my duty
Like Mr. Patrick Henry said
I got to be free or dead

 

Mister Nixon, I ain't a fixin'
To speak Spanish on a plane or polish off the Liberty Bell
I just want to sit here on the shelf
And watch you finish off the place by yourself
Please let me do what I wanna
I just lay around the house and smoke marijuana
Ooooo

 

It says right there in the constitution
It's really A-OK to have a revolution
When the leaders that you made
Just don't make the grade
Oh, mommy, I ain't no commie
But I hate to bust your bubble
Cause there's gonna be some trouble soon


Tarkio
