BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPULICANS
Mine eyes have seen the horror of the coming of the Reds
they are tearing up Old Glory into sixty million shreds
they are spying from our closets they are hiding neath our beds
lets fight until they're gone...
Glory Glory Hallelujah (3x)
Lets fight until they're gone

They are peeping in my windows late at night when I watch Paar
I have seen them in the glove compartment of my family car
they are hiding in the treetops, they control the D.A.R.
lets fight until they're gone...
Glory Glory Hallelujah (3x)
Lets fight until they're gone



THERES A RUMBLE DOWN NEXT STREET
Grab your new brass knuckles and bat, wear your new black leather jacket
you're in for a treat, theres a rumble down next street
can't you hear the heads go 'splat'? boy they sure do make a racket
crazy, man lets meet, at the rumble down next street
be sure you got your switch blade, and that new zip gun you made
because by the time you get there, it oughta, be slaughter
if you follow my advice you will surely end up fella
fried in that hot seat, from the rumble down next street.

(I was only 5 and illiterate when these were published, so please forgive if my memory fails. My brothers would read them and we'd sing them together. ;)

Ted Kennedy campaign song circa 1972

Sung to "Pop Goes The Weasel"

In '69 he led the polls
It looked like he was ready
In '69 it looked good and then
oops there goes Teddy

Each time he shows the Kennedy style
and people think he's ready
Each time it looks like he's the one
oops there goes Teddy

George Wallace, same year:

Sung to "Oh Susanna"

Well he comes from Alabama like he did in '68
And with good luck this year he might
just carry his home state

Well he travels all about the land
making his attacks
we've got a funny felling that
he won't appeal to blacks

Oh George Wallace
show us how you can fight
if you get in one things for sure
you'll keep the White House white

WAR

Ok from memory, so don't crucify me.

WAR (sung to to the tune of More)

War helps to keep the population down.
War means less people in a crowded town.
War let's us try out new artillery.
War gives our soldiers foreign trips for free.

War helps the USO.
Yes, War brings a Bob Hope show.
Yes, War gives us lots enjoyment
And it cuts down unemployment.

I remember the parody as:

I believe the correct words to the Oklahoma! parody were:

There's a bright golden cyst on his elbow,
There's a bright golden cyst on his elbow,
His pulse is as weak as a dried-up old creek
And I think that his kneecap is starting to leak

Oh! What a beautiful scalpel.
Oh! What a beautiful knife.
I've got a beautiful feeling
We can still save his poor life.

Won't you pass me the number 5 suture,
Won't you pass me the number 5 suture,
His skin's getting clammy, his face looks all white,
And somehow I think that he ain't breathing right.

Oh! What a bad operation!
Oh! How I wish it weren't true!
I did my durndest to save him,
Looks like he didn't pull through,
Looks like he didn't pull through.

The Ballad of William Sycamore (the Moonshine poem.)

My father was a moonshine man,
a regular sort of feller,
He kept ma plastered for forty years,
with the still he ran in the cellar,

I recall the folks who sampled his stuff,
the glassy look on their faces.
One day our spaniel inhaled the fumes,
and dropped dead at twenty paces,

My father worked hard with his cooker and mash,
and there were fruits of his labors.
By selling his moonshine around the town,
he killed off most of his neighbors.

Us boys, we got into the moonshine game,
and gave the business new birth,
The eldest is now at Alcatraz,
the youngest at Leavenworth.

They never caught my father, though,
they no longer raid his place.
The revenuers now buy his stuff,
for use at a missile base.

Here's another one from the mystic chords of memory, in the Songs About Food Dept., to the tune of "I'm In The Mood for Love", it was called "The Health Food Anthem" or something similar...

"I'm eating food for health
'Cause it is so nutritious
Though it is not delicious
I'm eating food for health"   

My fifth grade teacher, Hank Ardanowski, was a big MAD fan. If he confiscated your copy of the magazine in class, it was only so he could read it himself. Then he'd give it back. Or sometimes he'd read it aloud to the class, instead of the lesson. We would occasionally even get to SING these songs in class as a reward, say if we'd all just passed a important exam. He once gave me extra credit for turning in a project that featured a MAD-style fold-in cover. Gosh, I haven't thought about this stuff in years!

I'm Nothing But a Punk
(To the tune of "If I only had a Brain")

In the hottest summer weather,
You'll find me dressed in leather,
and Levis tightly shrunk.
And I feel brave and reckless
when I wear my Nazi necklace,
Cuz I'm nothing but a punk!

On my motorcycle racing,
you'll find me always chasing,
some poor old helpless drunk.
While his head I am breaking
there is simply no mistaking
That I'm nothing but a punk

Oh I am one tough guy that
all the other ones obey.
I took on a kid the other day,
one punch from me, she ran away!

Here's one I remember to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"

Your eyes are on the story on your color RCA
You are seated in a chair, alas, that's just 5 feet away
To think your eyes are both exposed to radiation's way
Your retinas are gone!

Glory Glory don't they fool ya!

The "food song" paperback mentioned above also had some poems. There is one about buttered peas to the rythym of "Gunga Din" with apologies to R. Kipling.

You may talk of beef and spuds
when you're frocked in fancy duds
A sittin' there as cozy as you please

But when some heathin' demon
In your stomach starts a screamin'
Then you'll sell your bloomin soul for buttered peas

First you shell 'em to a man
Then dump 'em in a pan
And boil 'em 'til the bugler calls a halt

Then remove 'em neat and clean
While you shout "God save the Queen!"
And serve 'em with some butter and some salt.

For it's peas, peas, peas
They're enough to bring a blighter to his knees

-there's more that I can't remember but some of the words/phrases are:
Walk the road to Mandalay for
To the God above I pray for
Those succulent, delicious buttered peas

Here's what I remember

Every day is really a fun day
When I eat a big gooey sundae
When I eat a big gooey sundae
With the nuts on top

Caramel sauce all gooey and gummy
Blobs of cream all tasty and yummy
Gobs of fudge that drop in my tummy
With a slow plip-plop

A cherry sitttin' on a pineapple slice
The marshmallow's gettin' all sticky
The strawberry's mixin' with the fudge real nice
Which may be why I'm feeling icky

Though my figure's takin' a beatin'
From this gob of goo that I'm eatin'
When I'm through you'll find me repeatin'
'Cause I just can't stop
Eating all those gooey sundaes
With the nuts on the top

Does anyone remember Mad's version of "Mame" (from Broadway musical)? I have partial lyrics:
I stagger out of a subway fight - Maimed.
I end my stroll down a street at night - Maimed.
I join a crowd that's jumpin' from early in the evenin' til the dawn,
My heart is really pumpin' 'cos I'm the one the crowd is jumpin' on!

{at this point I'm missing some of the lyrics, but it continues}:

They make a mess galore of me - they make a field of war of me.
Each day there's something more of me Maimed.

And howzabout this one?
(To the tune of "Anchors Aweigh"):

Our kid's away, thank God

We sent him off to camp
At thirty bucks a day(-ay-ay-ay)

Though it's a lot to pay
We'll raise no fuss
If we complain, then they might
Send him back
Might send him back
to us!

And finally
(to the tune of "Off We Go Into The Wild Blue Yonder"
[or whatever that song's actually called!]):

Off we go into the bargain section
Running wild over the place
There's a clerk coming in our direction
Onward girls! Stomp on his face!

There's a dress that we can all fight over

To the tune of "Honey" (Bobby Goldsboro's treacly sweet hit):


See the tree, how big it's grown
Since Honey babe left it alone
It might survive

She messed with it so much that it's
A miracle the blasted tree
Is still alive

And it would sure embarrass her
When I'd come home from workin' late
'Cause I would know

That she'd been sittin' there all evenin'
Swillin' down a great big bottle
Of Old Crow

I came home unexpectedly
And caught her necking shamelessly
With Fred one day

And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and birdies sing
They went away

And Honey I miss you
Like a hole in the head
And I hope you are happy
With creepy old Fred!

There are a few cover scans at MADCOVERSITE.COM.

When we finally dig out our storage shed, I'll probably scan the covers of the ones we have, ranging from the 60s through the 80s. May find some parodies, too.

Okay, this is bizarre. Bob and I were just re-reading a Mad mag this morning on his favorite Star Wars topic, and now I see this thread. No song parodies in that issue, but several of the parodies already mentioned in this thread came from a single issue that had songs about food: Ground Round (Downtown), the Chinese Restaurant Song (Oh, What a Beautiful Morning), Chopped Liver (Moon River), and Hello, Wine Lovers (Hello, Young Lovers), the last of which I didn't memorize because I was fuzzy on the tune. It also had The Sundae With the Nuts on the Top (The Surry etc.) and probably a couple of others.

Ev'ry day is really a fun day
When I eat a big, gooey sundae
When I eat a big, gooey sundae
With the nuts on top

(2nd verse, I forgot)

(bridge, I can only remember the last line:)
Which may be why I'm feeling icky

Tho' my figure's taking a beating
From this glob of glue that I'm eating

Just dump them together and leave them alone

Someone quoted part of "I wandered lonely as a clod" further up. Here's the whole of it - I think.

I Wandered Lonely as a Clod

I wandered lonely as a clod,
Just picking up old rags and bottles,
When onward on my way I plod,
I saw a host of axolotls;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
A sight to make a man's blood freeze.

Some had handles, some were plain;
They came in blue, red, pink, and green.
A few were orange in the main;
The damndest sight I've ever seen.
The females gave a sprightly glance;
The male ones all wore knee-length pants.

Now oft, when on the couch I lie,
The doctor asks me what I see.
They flash upon my inward eye
And make me laugh in fiendish glee.
I find my solace then in bottles,
And I forget them axolotls.
