PETE SEEGER
"Franklin D."

Franklin D., listen to me
You ain't gonna send me 'cross the sea.
'Cross the sea, 'cross the sea
You ain't gonna send me 'cross the sea.

You may say it's for defense
But that kinda talk that I'm against.
I'm against, I'm against,
That kinda talk ain't got no sense.

Lafayette, we are here,
We're gonna stay right over here
Over here, over here,
We're gonna stay right over here.

Marcantonio is the best,
But I wouldn't give a nickel for all the rest.
All the rest, all the rest,
I wouldn't give a nickel for all the rest.

J. P. Morgan's big and plump,
Eighty-four inches around the rump.
Around the rump, around the rump,
Eighty-four inches around the rump.

Wendell Wilkie and Franklin D.,
Seems to me they both agree,
Both agree, both agree,
Both agree on killin' me.
