Hat's Off, America! by Jeffrey Gutcheon / Shady Mt. Music / ASCAP Hats off, America, don't blow your cool Keep your troops away from the strike at the Sunday School No dice, America, go straight to jail Tell your kids don't worry 'cause the banks will never fail The judge is on vacation, the jury's gone to town Cops and bookies inside shakin' grandma down Strike three, America, you have lost the game Got nobody but your own sweet self to blame Lights out, America, don't blow your fuse You can't get your pension if you did not pay your dues Oh Miss America, fairest of all Your mirror's telling lies upon your wall A nickel costs a quarter, a penny costs a dime They're bottlin' Michigan water and callin' it cherry wine Hats off, America, got to spit shine your shoes Now you're gonna have to learn to sing the blues From Hungry Chuck - Bearsville LP 2071 |
