Mister charlie lindbergh, he flew to old berlin,
Got him a big iron cross, and he flew right back again
To washington, washington
Mrs. Charlie lindbergh, she come dressed in red,
Said: "I'd like to sleep in that pretty white house bed
In washington, washington."
Lindy said to annie: "we'll get there by and by,
But we'll have to split the bed up with wheeler, clark, and nye
In washington, washington."
Hitler wrote to lindy, said "do your very worst."
Lindy started an outfit that he called america first
In washington, washington.
All around the country, lindbergh he did fly,
Gasoline was paid for by hoover, clark, and nye
In washington, washington
Lindy said to hoover: "we'll do the same as france:
Make a deal with hitler, and then we'll get our chance."
In washington, washington
Then they had a meetin', and all the firsters come,
Come on a walk and they come on a run,
In washington, washington
Yonder comes father coughlin, wearin' the silver chain,
Gas on his stomach and hitler on the brain.
In washington, washington
Mr. John l. Lewis would sit and straddle a fence,
But his daughter signed with lindbergh
And we ain't seen her since
In washington, washington
Hitler said to lindy: "stall 'em all you can,
Gonna bomb pearl harbor with the help of old japan."
In washington, washington
Then on a december mornin', the bombs come from japan,
Wake island and pearl harbor
Kill fifteen hundred men
In washington, washington
Now lindy tried to join the army
But they wouldn't let him in,
Afraid he'd sell to hitler a few more million men.
In washington, washington
So I'm a-gonna tell you people, if hitler's gonna be beat,
The common workin' people
Has got to take the seat
In washington, washington
And I'm gonna tell you workers
'Fore you cash in your checks:
They say "america first," but they mean "america next!"
In washington, washington
