LINDBERGH (Testo di Woody Guthrie - musica basata su un motivo tradizionale) Mister Charlie Lindbergh, he flew to old Berlin, Got 'im a big Iron Cross, and he flew right back again To Washington, Washington. Misses Charlie Lindbergh, she come dressed in red, Said: "I'd like to sleep in that pretty White house bed In Washington, Washington." Lindy said to Annie: "We'll get there by and by, But we'll have to split the bed up with Hoover, Clark, and Nye In Washington, Washington." Hitler wrote to Lindy, said "Do your very worst," So Lindy started an outfit that he called America First In Washington, Washington. All around the country, Lindbergh he did fly, And the gasoline was paid for by Hoover, Clark, and Nye In Washington, Washington. Lindy said to Hoover: "We'll do the same as France: Make a deal with Hitler, and then we'll get our chance In Washington, Washington." Then they had a meetin', and all the Firsters come, Come on a-walkin', they come on a-runnin', Washington, Washington Yonder comes father Coughlin, wearin' the silver chain, Cash on his stomach and Hitler on the brain. Washington, Washington Mister John L. Lewis would sit and straddle a fence, 'Cause his daughter signed with Lindbergh, and we ain't seen her since Washington, Washington Hitler said to Lindy: "Stall 'em all you can, We're gonna bomb Pearl Harbor with the help of old Japan." Washington, Washington Then on a December mornin', the bombs come from Japan, Wake Island and Pearl Harbor, kill fifteen hundred men. Washington, Washington Lindy tried to join the army, but they wouldn't let 'im in, 'Fraid he'd sell to Hitler a few more million men. Washington, Washington So I'm gonna tell you people: If Hitler's gonna be beat, The common workin' people has got to take the seat In Washington, Washington. And I'm gonna tell you workers, 'fore you cash in your checks: They say "America First," but they mean "America Next!" In Washington, Washington.
