C 7 G We're the bright young men, who want to go back to nineteen-ten, we're Barry's boys. 7 C (7) We're the kids with a cause, yes a government like grandmama's, we're Barry's boys. F D7/F#° We're the new kind of youth at your Alma Mater, G7 A7 Back to silver standards and solid Goldwater D7 Back to when the poor were poor and rich were rich G7 And you felt so damn secure just knowing which were which. (G+) C 7 G7 We're the kids who agree to be social without security, we're Barry's boys D|7 B7 C A7 'Cause his hat's in the ring where Westbrook Pegler once was king, now he's too left wing F F#° [C] A7 So if you don't recognize any old Red China, or Canada, or Britain, or South Carolina D7 G7 (Alt D7 with G7) You too can join the crew, Tippecanoe and Nixon too Back to Barry, back to cash and carry, back to Barry's boys. ["Why did the chicken cross the road? To get from the left to the right." "Roses are red, violets are blue, Walter Lippmann's a pinko, too." "A-na-ka-nee, ka-nah, ka-nay, let's investigate the PTA."] "Barry, Barry, make your bid, I love John Birch, but oh you kid." ["Mother, mother, wear a grin, and don't complain, or we'll turn you in." "Hold the presses, stop the mail, the Pentagon's having a one-cent sale." "What's the latest news statistic? Hootenannies are socialistic." "Shut the door and lock and latch it, here comes Lizzie with a brand new hatchet"] We're the kids full of nerve as long as it's conservative, we're Barry's boys And we can't comprehend why our parents aren't friendlier to Barry's boys Why Dad once crusaded for Sacco/Vanzetti, Now all we're doing is doing the same for John Paul Getty Our parents emulated Roosevelt and Farley But we just want to grow up to be like Ev and Charley No college days with Socrates and Plato, when you're Barry's boys You just organize parades for the abolishment of NATO And the rest, the entire West So let's go back to the days when men were men, and start the First World War all over again That's right you tell 'em son: 'Isolationism can be fun!' Back to Barry, back to cash and carry, back to Barry-- "And remember, 'An American first, and a politician second'. . . Spoken like a true American politician" Back with Barry, not with Lyndon, Ike or Harry, [but] back with Barry's boys.
