(THEY ALL takes a second sheet and begin writing again.)
There are Communists in
Montillano,
And these Communists
are going forth;
It is really most appalling,
It is shocking, it is
galling,
How they’re sprawling
and they’re crawling
To the north!
They’re so pernicious
In every town,
They’re spawning like
fishes
Both upstream and down!
There are Communists
in Montillano,
There are Communists
within our reach;
They are slippery and
clammy,
And we tell you, Uncle
Sammy,
They will soon be in
Miami
And Palm Beach!
Dear Presidente,
It’s such a sin!
Jose Ibañez
Loves Ho Chi Minh!
There are Communists
in Montillano
And they are here to
do us in.
