Oh mommy
I ain't no commie
I'm just doing what I can to live the good all American...Way
It says right there in the constitution
It's really A-ok to have a revolution
When the leaders that you choose
Really don't fit the shoes

Oh mister
I ain't no sister
I believe in the bill of rights come on don't you start a fight...Please
I like to wear my hair long
How can there be anything wrong
When you already 'cused me twice
Of looking like Jesus Christ Hallelujah

I'm only gettin' tired of playing Punch and Judy
I'm really half a mind to go and do my duty
Like Mr. Patrick Henry said
I got to be free or dead

Mr. Nixon
I ain't a-fixin'
To speak Spanish on a plane or polish off the liberty...Bell
I just want to sit here on the shelf
And watch you finish off the place by yourself
Please let me do what I wanna
I'll just lay around the house and smoke Marijuana oohoo

It says right there in the constitution
It's really A-ok to have a revolution
When the leader that you made
Just don't make the grade
Oh mommy
I ain't no commie
But I hate to bust your bubble cause there's gonna be some trouble...Soon

Yes, Melissa, it's a pity that Brewer and Shipley seem to have fallen off the radar. They did some damn good stuff.

I'm still waiting for the train.....

Been listening to to B&S since the early 70's. Had the chance to see tem a few times in the late 80's. To bad they seem to be history!!!

It's my belief that both Mike's Brewer and Shipley are deceased. I'll check w/a friend of mine who's known them both since childhood to be certain.

Oops! Wish I had THAT post back. They're both alive and well, still touring together and it wasn't MIKE Shipley it was/is TOM.

I'll be gettin' my hat, now...

Heard B&S several times at the Cellar Door in Georgetown - they opened for Ian & Sylvia at least once that I recall. Great singers and entertainers.
