Rate My Music Janis Ian

[Intro]
Folk music

[Chorus]
Rate my music one-two-three
Keep your children safe from me
Rate my writing X-Y-Z
That's what keeps this country free

[Verse 1]
You got Ma Rainey talkin' 'bout a jelly roll
Chuck Berry workin' on a mojo
Bessie Smith singin' bull dagger blues
Elvis twitching on the evening news

[Chorus]
Rate my music one-two-three
Keep your children safe from me
Rate my writing X-Y-Z
Living in the land of liberty, yeah

[Verse 2]
Gonna rate Walt Whitman, and Jean Cocteau
All the fags will have to go
Alexander the Great, and Plato and such
The kids might catch it if they read too much, yeah
