Which means don't let the [Incomprehensible] grand you down
They said, "Don't you think it's mighty strong language
To be used in, right here on the Fozo Show"
Now if a order was to come down from the Pope
The Catholics ain't allowed to smoke no dope
If they couldn't get high would they feel real low
And would they get pissed off down in Mexico
And if Mayor John Lindsey was to propose
The old Calcutta guest had to wear clothes
Would they still come all the way from Kokomo
Just to dig the show
What if Eldridge Cleaver was to devise a plan
For the Black Panther Party of America
To be merged with the Ku Klux Klan
And if Richard Nixon made Spiro Agnew
The new ambassador to Timbuktu
If he was doing real well would you guess
It would prove his relationship with CBS
What if Lester Maddox was to pass a law
That the black population of Georgia
Had to be moved into Arkansas
Would it make Orval Faubus sore
And start a two state civil war
Would they ask the government for federal aid
To buy pickaxe handles and razorblades
Bop bop bop bop rodeo dope
Now if Martha Mitchell was to address
A special meeting of the SDS
If she told them her views on Vietnam
Would they make her an honorary minuteman
And if Governor Wallace was to come unglued
And run for President in '72
Could he carry all of the Southern states
With Julian Bond for a running mate
Now if the CIA, and the IRS and the FCC
Found out that J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI
Owned stock in AT&T
And the UAW, and the BNO, and the AFL and the CIO
And the ICC, and the BBD's, and the LSU and UCLA
And the OEO, and the KKK, and the PTA and the LNA
And the UPI and the IBM all BS
