Go Limp (Live)

Oh Daughter, dear Daughter
Take warning from me
And don′t you go marching
With the N-A-A-C-P
For they'll rock you and roll you
And shove you into bed
And if they steal your nuclear secret
You′ll wish you were dead
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
When we get to the chorus again I expect you to sing with us
Oh Mother, dear Mother
No, I'm not afraid
For I'll go on that march
And I′ll return a virgin maid
With a brick in my handbag
And a smile on my face
And barbed wire in my underwear
To shed off disgrace
Come on, let′s go
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
I forgot the next verse
I forgot it
Well I'm taking my time
One day they were marching
A young man came by
With a beard on his cheek
And a gleam in his eye
And before she had time
To remember her brick
And before she had time
To remember her brick
They were holding a sit-down
On a nearby hay rig
Come on now
Now this is the audience participation, come on!
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Let′s do it again
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Oh my goodness
For meeting is pleasure
And parting is pain
And if I have a great concert
Maybe I won't have to sing those folk songs again
Oh Mother, dear Mother
I′m stiff and I'm sore
From sleeping three nights
On a hard classroom floor
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Come on!
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
I missed one verse, I forgot which one now
Oh, oh I know what it is
One day at the briefing
She′d heard a man say
"Go perfectly limp,
And be carried away."
So when this young man suggested
It was time she was kissed
She remembered her brief
And did not resist
Let's go
Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Oh mother, dear mother
No need for distress
For the young man has left me
His name and address
And if we win
Tho' a baby there be
He won′t have to march
Like his da-da and me
