THE OLD H-U-A-C

The Raunch Hands



I am a college student

And I've come to sing a song

I've always been a liberal

I never thought it wrong

But I have come to tell you

Take warning now from me

Or you may have to tangle with

The old H-U-A-C.



Now, I am only eighteen years

Of age as of this date

It's hard to see how I could be

A danger to the state

But that's what the committee said

And so it has to be

For their sources are of

Unimpeachable integrity.



H-U-A-C, H-U-A-C

What a lucky thing it is for you and me

That our freedoms are well guarded

By politically retarded

Men of unimpeachable integrity.



I went and joined a picket line

Because I'd like to see

No more discrimination

If our land is really free

I'd like to see them put an end

To weapons testing too

But they say this is a dangerous

Subversive point of view.



I tried to be progressive

But I never was a red

I thought the first amendment

Meant exactly what it said

But now that that's gone out of style

There's just one thing to do

Be silent or conservative

The choice is up to you.



H-U-A-C, H-U-A-C

They're just lookin' out

For guys like you and me

So become reactionary

And of progress be most wary

Keep our country true and brave

And strong and free.



So listen to my warning

And reject each liberal view

And praise the men who govern us

No matter what they do

But even this is not enough

For those who would go far

You'd better make your mother

Join the local D A R.



Now please don't tell them who

It was that wrote this song

If anyone should ask you

Tell them I have moved along

I'm sorry that I have to leave

The evening has been great

But I have been subpoenaed

And I really can't be late.
