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