The John Birch Society Lyrics - Singles - Chad Mitchell Trio

by Michael Brown 

Oh, we're meetin' at the courthouse at eight o'clock tonight 

You just walk 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 taking down the names of everybody turning left 

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 

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 

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? 

Well you've heard about the agents that we've already named 

Well MPA has agents that are flauntedly unashamed 

We're after Rosie Clooney, we've gotten Pinkie Lee 

And the day we get Red Skelton won't that be a victory 

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 

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 

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 hand and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads 

Do you want Justice Warren for your Commissar? 

Do you want Mrs. Krushchev in there with the DAR? 

You cannot trust your neighbor or even next of kin 

If mommie is a commie then you gotta turn her in 

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 

The John, the John Birch So- ci- i- teee.
