Subject: Lyr Req: I believe everything they tell me to... From: GUEST,2 Feathers (and I'm NOT a guest!) Date: 07 May 04 - 08:49 AM Trying so hard to remember an old political song. It sounds like it might be a Tom Lehrer type song, or even Paxton type. The chorus I remember goes, "I believe I do, I believe it's true, I believe everything they tell me to..." Does anyone remember this one? |

Click here for the song, as posted in the Forum (Susan's version isn't available to us yet because it still has technical work to be done). -Joe Offer- |

Subject: Lyr Add: I BELIEVE, I DO (Tom Paxton) From: dick greenhaus Date: 08 May 04 - 10:36 AM I BELIEVE, I DO (Tom Paxton) Cho: I believe, I do, I believe it's true I believe exactly what they tell me to! I believe, I do, I believe it's true I'm a simple guy and I believe. The building inspector came around And he poked his head inside my door just as the plaster Missed his head then he smiled and said "Well, the building looks quite safe to me." The politician told me just the other day That he really didn't want the job at all But he would make this sacrifice for me If I would only place my trust in him. And the labor leader told his membership That his limosine was no extravagance at all His cocktail parties at Miami Beach Merely helped him roll the union on. The commissioner of public safety called On the people to support their local cops Who never ever use any extra force When a kindly word would do as well. ------ Recorded on the album Outward Bound, 1966 @political filename[ BELIVIDO GF |
