Grandpa Jones - I'm No Communist Lyrics

Lyrics I'm No Communist - Grandpa Jones



We're living in a country that's the finest place on earth
But some folks don't appreciate this land that gave them birth
I hear that up in Washington they're having an awful fuss
'Cause communists and spies are making monkeys out of us
The bureaus and departments have been busy night and day
They're figuring out just how we gave our secrets all away
And congress has appointed a committee, so they said
To find out who's American and who's a low-down Red
They call them up to Washington to speak for Uncle Sam
But when they ask them what they arе they shut up like a clam
I wish they'd takе and put me on the witness stand today
I'd shout so loud 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 car, and cow
I like this private ownership; I want to be left alone
Let the government run its business, and let me run my own
Our government is bigger than it ever was today
The more they hire to work for it, the more they have to pay
Our public servants should be proud and honest you would think
Instead of taking bribes and dressing up their wives in mink
The taxes keep on going up, of that there is no doubt
But still they just can't take it in as fast as they dish it out
Our national debt is monster size and growin' every day
Our children's children, still unborn, are gonna have to pay
Our dollar used to be the soundest money on this Earth
But now two bucks won't even buy one good dollar's worth
Unless we stop inflation and take care of what we've got
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 want to be left alone
Let the government run its business and let me run my own
