So I ran down most hurriedly
D
and joined the John Birch Society,
G

I got me a secret membership card,
D
went back to my backyard,
G
started looking on the sidewalk
C
D
G
beneath the rosebush
well I was looking everywhere
C
for them gold darn reds,
D
I got up in the morning
I looked under my bed,
G
looked behind the kitchen,
C
behind the door,
D
even taller as the kitchen floor.
I couldn't find any.

Verse 2
I looked beneath the sofa,
C
beneath the chair,
D
looking for them reds
everywhere.

I looked way up my chimney hole,
D
even deep down inside my toilet bowl.
G
C
D
G
C

I got away.
G
I
heard some footsteps
C
by the front porch door,
D
so I grabbed my shotgun from the floor.
G
I snuck around the house
C
with a huff and a hiss,
D
saying, hands up, you communist.
G
It was a mailman.
C
D
G
C
D
He punched me out
G
C
Well I quit my job so I could work alone
D
I got a magnifying glass
like Sherlock Holmes

Following some clues from

my detective bag
D
I discovered there was red
stripes stripes
G
and the American flag
C
Did you know about Betsy
D

Well I was sittin' home alone
C
and I started to sweat

I figured they was in my television set
G

I peeked behind the picture frame
D
I got a shock from my feet
that hit my brain
G
Them reds did it
C
D
G
C
D
The ones on the hook nanny
G
C
Well, I finally started thinkin' straight
D
When I run out of things to
investigate
G
C
I couldn't imagine doin' anything else
D
So now I'm at home investigatin' myself
I hope I don't find out too much
G
Good God!
