you just walk in the door and take the first turn to the right
be careful when you get there we hate to be bereft
but we’re takin’ down the names of everybody turnin’ left
oh we’re the john birch society the john birch society
here to save our country from a communistic plot
join the john birch society help us fill the ranks
to get this movement started we need lots of tools and cranks
now there’s no one that we’re certain the kremlin doesn’t touch
we think that westbrook pegler doth protest a bit too much
we only hail the hero from whom we got our name
we’re not sure what he did but he’s our hero just the same
oh we’re the john birch society the john birch society
socialism is the ism dismalest of all
join the john birch society there’s so much to do
have you heard they’re serving vodka at the wctu
well you’ve heard about the agents that we’ve already named
well mca has agents that are flauntedly unashamed
we’re after rosie clooney we’ve gotten pinkie lee
and the day we get red skelton won’t that be a victory
oh we’re the john birch society the john birch society
norman vincent peale may think he’s kidding us along
but the john birch society knows he spilled the beans

fighting for the right to fight the right fight for the right
join the john birch society as we’re marching on
and we’ll all be glad to see you when we’re meeting in the john
