Oh, It's a Shame (Tonightus, Perry) Novelty. Greenville, North Carolina, USA Patriotic, anti-protest, anti-communist Uncle Sam don't want to fight, how can North Vietnam be? Russia pours in tanks, let our boys retaliate. They say we escalate - the Reds have got it made - Uncle Sam afraid People say stop the bombs - and they talk peace. But they are liars, we are fools. Liberals want us to give in - can't win Communist want to take the USA. CBS + NBC are liberal (anti-press)
