[Intro]
Whew, thank you ladies and gentlemen, remember, no applause, and keep it down
Your drinks, don't rattle your gl– ice in your glasses and don't ring the cash register
You got it covered?
Alright
Like to, um, continue this, continue this
Continue this set with a composition
Dedicated to the first or second or third all-American heel, Faubus
And it's titled "Fables of Faubus"
[Verse 1]
Oh, Lord, don't let 'em shoot us
Oh, Lord, don't let 'em stab us
Oh, Lord, don't let 'em tar and feather us
Oh, Lord, no more swastikas
Yee-oh
[Refrain]
Oh, Lord, no more Ku Klux Klan
[Verse 2]
Name me someone who's ridiculous, Dannie
Governor Faubus
Why is he so sick and ridiculous?
He won't permit us in his schools
Then he's a fool
Oh, boo
[Refrain]
Boo! Nazi Fascist supremists
Boo! Ku Klux Klan
With your Jim Crow plan
[Verse 3]
Name me a handful that's ridiculous, Dannie Richmond?
Bilbo, Thomas, Faubus, Russel, Rockefeller, Byrd, Eisenhower
Why are they so sick and ridiculous?
Two, four, six, eight
They brainwash and teach you hate
H-E-L-L-O, hello
Hello
[Refrain]
Boo! Nazi Fascist supremists
Boo! Ku Klux Klan with your
Jim Crow plan
[Chorus]
Name me a handful that's ridiculous, Dannie
Bilbo, Thomas, Faubus, Russel, Rockefeller, Byrd, Eisenhower
Why are they so sick and ridiculous, Dannie?
Two, four, six, eight, they
Brainwash and teach you hate
