The People's Thank You
words and music: A1C Jim Schaffer
We'd like to thank you,
Thank you, Richard Nixon,
Thank you for the job you've done.
Revolution is the people's thank you,
And the thank-you's have just begun!
We'd like to thank you,
Thank you Hank Kissinger, etc.
(various names substituted
for underlined)

Oh well, you know
You took the power
from the people
And—their land!
But now we've got—
the GI movement,
And we'll crush that
blood-stained hand!
We'd like to thank you,
Thank you Bill Westmoreland, etc.

Oh well you know,
You took the power
from the people,
And—that's wrong!
But now we've got—
the GI movement,
And we're growing,
we're getting strong!
We'd like to thank you,
Thank you all you slobs, etc.
(bridge)
Well you know
You took the power from the people
That—was your decree.
But now we've got—
the people's army
And we're marching on to victory!
We'd like to thank you,
Thank you Richard Nixon, etc.
