But don't ask me to come on along
I've learned to take every view
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
So love me, love me
But Malcolm X got what was coming
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me
Love me, I'm a liberal
And I'll send all the money you ask for
So love me, love me
The people of old Mississippi
Learned all the old union hymns
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
So love me, love me
I go to civil rights rallies
I wore every conceivable pin
Sure once I was young and impulsive
Love me, I'm a liberal
Yes, I read New republic and Nation
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
So love me, love me
As though I'd lost a father of mine
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
As long as they don't move next door
Love me, I'm a liberal
Even went to the socialist meetings
And I put down the old D.A.R.
But when it comes to times like Korea
Should all hang their heads in shame
So love me, love me
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
He got what he asked for this time
They want the U.N. to be strong
So love me, love me
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
Love me, I'm a liberal
That's going a little bit too far
Ah, but I've grown older and wiser
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
My faith in the system restored
But don't talk about revolution
There's no one more red, white and blue
Love me, I'm a liberal
Of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
Love me, I'm a liberal
I attend all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
And I'm glad the commies were thrown out
I vote for the democratic party
I can't understand how their minds work
I hope the cops take down your name
