[D]
We're living in a country that's the finest [A] place on earth, but some folks don't appreciate this land that [D] gave them birth.
I hear that up in Washington they're having an [G] awful fuss, cause communists and spies are [A] making monkeys [D] out of us.
The bureaus and departments have been busy [A] night and day, they're figuring out just how we gave our secrets [D] all away.
And Congress has appointed a committee so [G] they said, to find out [D] who's American and who's a low-down red.
They called him up to Washington to speak for Uncle [A] Sam, but when they asked him what they are, they shut up like [D] a clam.
I wish they'd take and put me on the witness [G] stand today, I'd shout so loud [D] old Stalin could hear me all the way.
I'm no communist, I'll tell you that right now, I believe a man should own his own house and [A] car and cow.
[D] I like this private ownership, I want to be [G] left alone.
Let the government run its business, and let me run [D] my own.
[A]
Our government is bigger than it ever [A] was today, the more they hired to work for it, the more they [D] have to pay.
Our public servants should be proud and honest, [G] you would think, instead of taking [D] bribes and dressing up their [D] wives in me.
The taxes keep on going up, of that there [A] is no doubt, but still they just can't take it in as fast as they dish [D] it out.
Our national debt is monstercising, growing every [G] day, our [D] children's children still unborn are gonna have to pay.
Our dollar used to be the soundest money [A] on this earth, but now two bucks won't even buy one good [D] dollar's worth.
Unless we stop inflation and take care of [G] what we've got, [D] the communists may win the fight and never fire a shot.
Oh, I'm no communist, I'll tell you that right now, I believe a man should own his own house and car and cow.
I like this private ownership, I wanna be left [G] alone.
Let the government run its business, and let me run my own.
