Protest Song

Written and sung by Neil Innes (The "Seventh Python"), this song was on "Monty Python: Live at City Center"

Ladies and gentlemen, I've suffered for my music...... now it's your turn.

(Terrible Harmonica Playing........)
All the prophets of doom
Can always find room
In a world of worry and fear
Tip cigarettes
And chemistry sets
And Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
So I'm going back
To my little ol' shack
And drink me a bottle of wine
That was mis en bouteille
Before my birthday
And have me a fucking good time!

Rain on a tin roof sounds like a drum
We're marchin' for freedom today.... hey!
Turn on your headlights and sound your horn
If people get in the way

(Beyond horrible harmonica playing)
Let me turn you on
To the Chromium Swan
On the nose of a long limousine
Even hire it for the day
It is somethin' to say
But what the hell does it mean?
I may be accused
Of being confused
But I'm average weight for my height
My philosophy
Like a color TV
Is all there in black and white

RAI--Rain on a tin roof sounds like a drum
We're marchin' for freedom today...... hey!
Turn on your headlights and sound yer horn (honk honk)
If people get in the way.

(Long harmonica note)
