[verse 1]
We're livin' in a country that's the finest place on earth
But some folks don't appreciate this land that gave them birth
I hear that up in Washington they're having an awful fuss
'Cause Communists and spies are making monkeys out of us
[verse 2]
The bureaus and departments have been busy night and day
They're figuring out just how we gave our secrets all away
And congress has appointed a committee, so they said
To find out who's American and who's a low-down Red
[verse 3]
They call them up to Washington to speak for Uncle Sam
But when they ask them what they arе they shut up like a clam
I wish they'd takе and put me on the witness stand today
I'd shout so loud old Stalin can hear me all the way
[Chorus]
I'm no Communist I'll tell you that right now
I believe a man should own his own house, and car, and cow
I like this private ownership; I want to be left alone
Let the government run its business, and let me run my own
[verse 4]
Our government is bigger than it ever was today
The more they hire to work for it, the more they have to pay
Our public servants should be proud and honest you would think
Instead of taking bribes and dressing up their wives in mink
We're livin' in a country that's the finest place on earth
But some folks don't appreciate this land that gave them birth
I hear that up in Washington they're having an awful fuss
'Cause Communists and spies are making monkeys out of us
[verse 2]
The bureaus and departments have been busy night and day
They're figuring out just how we gave our secrets all away
And congress has appointed a committee, so they said
To find out who's American and who's a low-down Red

They call them up to Washington to speak for Uncle Sam
But when they ask them what they arе they shut up like a clam
I wish they'd takе and put me on the witness stand today

[Chorus]
I'm no Communist I'll tell you that right now
I believe a man should own his own house, and car, and cow
