Subject: RE: Left wing political parodies
Does anyone know the song, from Ballads for Sectarians, about small and doctrinaire parties, that begins:
"Bill Bailey belonged to every radical party......."
The chorus begins: "Oh you may be a friend of Max Schachtman ...."
And after going through a litany of Trotskyist and other radical leaders, it ends:
"O you may belong to every radical party from the Hudson to the Rhine! Oh, you may be a comrade of all of those folks, But you ain't no comrade of mine!"
