The John Birch Society

[Verse 1]
Oh, we're meetin' at the courthouse at eight o'clock tonight
You just come in the door and take the first turn to the right
Be careful when you get there, we hate to be bereft
But we're takin' down the names of everybody turnin' left

[Chorus]
Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society, help us fill the ranks
To get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks

[Verse 2]
Now, there's no one that we're certain the Kremlin doesn't touch
We think that Westbrook Pegler doth protest a bit too much
We only hail the hero from whom we got our name
We're not sure what he did, but he's our hero just the same

[Chorus]
Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Socialism is the ism dismalest of all
Join the John Birch Society, there's so much to do
Have you heard they're serving vodka at the WCTU?

[Verse 3]
Well, you've heard about the agents that we've already named
Well, MCA has agents that are flatly unashamed
We're after Rosie Clooney, we've gotten Pinkie Lee
And the day we get Red Skelton won't that be a victory?

[Chorus]
Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Norman Vincent Peale may think he's kidding us along
But the John Birch Society knows he spilled the beans
He keeps on preaching brotherhood, but we know what he means

[Verse 4]
We'll teach you how to spot 'em in the cities or the sticks
For even Jasper Junction is just full of Bolsheviks
The CIA's subversive, and so's the FCC
There's no one left but thee and we, and we're not sure of thee

[Chorus]
Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Here to save our country from a communistic plot
Join the John Birch Society holding off the reds
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads

[Bridge]
Do you want Justice Warren for your Commissar?
Do you want Mrs. Krushchev in there with the DAR?
You cannot trust your neighbors or even next of kin
If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in

[Chorus]
Oh, we're the John Birch Society, the John Birch Society
Fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the Right
Join the John Birch Society as we're marching on
And we'll all be glad to see you when we're meeting in the john
In the john, in the John Birch Society
