Hallelujah! Dads and Mommies!
Rebels, Yanks, Jews and Commies
If you feel a crisis coming on.
Don’t get worried,
Don’t get nervous,
Just send your son into the Service
And buy for him a Military Gun.

Okay, I bastardized Mr. Paxton’s lyrics in the previous post, but it has been many years, and I was quite young in those days, listening to Beaker Street I believe, when I first heard the song, probably early 1966.

Here is the real song, the way it was meant to be heard. The music starts at the 50 sec. mark.

Nice song! I’d not heard of Paxton before --so thanks.

The interviewer sitting with his chin in his hands looking like a rapt schoolgirl is, however, creepy…

That man is Pete Seeger

The interviewer? That’s Pete Seeger? Interesting…
