Lyrics
[Verse 1] Well, I was feelin’ sad and kind of blue I didn’t know what in the world I was gonna do Them Communists they was comin’ around They were in the air They were on the ground They were all over [Verse 2] So I ran down most hurriedly And joined the John Birch Society I got me a secret membership card Went back to my backyard And started lookin' on the sidewalk 'Neath the rose bush [Verse 3] Well, I was lookin’ everywhere for them gol-darned Reds I got up in the mornin’ ’n’ lookеd under my bed Looked bеhind my kitchen, behind the door Even tore loose the kitchen floor I couldn’t find any [Verse 4] I looked beneath the sofa, beneath the chair Lookin' form them Reds everywhere I looked way up my chimney hole I even looked deep down inside my toilet bowl They got away [Verse 5] I heard some footsteps by the front porch door So I grabbed my shotgun from the floor I snuck around the house with a huff and a hiss Sayin' "Hands up, you Communist!" It was the mailman He punched me out [Verse 6] Well, I quit my job so I could work alone I got a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes Followed some clues from my detective bag And discovered there was red stripes on the American flag Did you know about Betsy Ross? [Verse 7] Well, I was sittin’ home alone an’ I started to sweat I figured they was in my television set I peeked behind the picture frame And got a shock from my feet that hit my brain Them Reds did it The ones on the "Hootenanny" [Verse 8] Well, I fin’ly started thinkin’ straight When I run outa things to investigate I couldn’t imagine doin’ anything else So now I’m sittin’ home investigatin’ myself Hope I don’t find out too much, good God
