I'm No Communist - Lulu Belle & Scotty

We’re living in a country that’s the finest place on earth

But some folks don’t appreciate this land that gave them birth

I hear that up in Washington they’re having an awful fuss

‘Cause Communists and spies were making monkeys out of us

The bureaus and departments have been busy night and day

They’re figuring out just how we gave our secrets all away

And Congress has appointed a committee, so they said

To find out who’s American and who’s a low-down Red

They call them up to Washington to speak for Uncle Sam

But when they ask them what they are, they shut up like a clam

I wish they’d take and put me on the witness stand today

I’d yell so loud old Stalin could hear me all the way

Our government is bigger than it ever was today

The more they hire to work for it, the more they have to pay

Our public servants should be proud and honest you would think

Instead of taking bribes and dressing up their wives in mink

The taxes keep on going up, of that there is no doubt

But still, they just can’t take it in as fast as they dish it out

Our national debt is a monster size and growin’ every day

Our children’s children, still unborn are gonna have to pay

Our dollar used to be the soundest money on this earth

But now two bucks won’t even buy a good old dollar’s worth

Unless we stop inflation and take care of what we’ve got

The Communists may win the fight and never fire a shot
