joe glazer - joe mccarthy's band كلمات أغنية

[intro]
“now, we got a song about a guy who made one heck of an impact on the national political scene in the 1950s. he was the republican senator from wisconsin, and his name was joe mccarthy. mccarthy was what we call today a loose cannon, labeling all kinds of innocent people communists, or communist sympathizers, or friends of the communists, or so on. now, this little song touches on that issue, and one thing—two things you have to know, it mentions a number of congressmen in here and senators who are great republican supporters of mccarthy, people like senator jenner and hickenlooper, and velde, and karl mundt, and so on. and the other thing you have to remember when you speak in the senate or the house, you have immunity. you can say all kinds of things. you have congressional immunity, and joe mccarthy knew that very, very well.”

[verse 1]
my name is joe mccarthy, i’m the leader of the band
i don’t play in the concert hall but on the witness stand
i have the finest orchestra in washington, d.c
and night and day, i love to play mccarthy’s symphony

[verse 2]
well, jenner howls and velde yowls and mundt says, “pour it on!”
the drums go bang, the cymbals clang from maine to oregon
and hickenlooper tootles the flute as victims take the stand
the finest music in the land is joe mccarthy’s band

[chorus]
toodle_de_do (toodle_de_do)
try to sue (try to sue)
toodle_de_do (toodle_de_do)
just try to sue (just try to sue)
a_toodle_de_do (toodle_de_do)
i’ll tell you more
but i’ll never, never, never say it off the senate floor

[verse 3]
when i started chasing communists, i claimed two hundred five
and then i swore ’twas eighty_one to keep the thing alive
then fifty_seven varieties of reds and pinks galore
they’re climbin’ on the ceiling and they’re creepin’ on the floor
[chorus]
toodle_de_do (toodle_de_do)
try to sue (try to sue)
toodle_de_do (toodle_de_do)
just try to sue (just try to sue)
a_toodle_de_do (toodle_de_do)
i’ll tell you more
but i’ll never, never, never say it off the senate floor

[verse 4]
well, i’m the biggest headline chaser in the u.s.a
i’d rather chase a headline than a commie any day
i’ve called ’em red and i’ve called ’em pink and everything between
but the fact is that i’m colorblind, i can’t tell red from green
