lyrics

I just took a Lie-Detector Test
Because it’s the patriotic thing to do
Ask me bout my views
I don’t leak things to the news
Fellas take it easy, I’m on God’s side, too.

Then I had a urinalysis
It’s the patriotic thing to do
I sang In Ron I Trust
As I tinkled in my cup
I could hear the bells of freedom
Ringing clear and true

Oh, he’d pull things from the shelves
Just to save us from ourselves
Little things that we appreciate a lot

And thanks for showing me
Some creative ways to be
A god-fearing, flag-waving patriot

Then he asked to tap my telephone
I said: That’s alright with me
For whatever I can do
for the Gipper and the Duke
I’d do so willingly

Oh, he’d pull things from the shelves
Just to save us from ourselves
Little things that we appreciate a lot

And thanks for showing me
Some creative ways to be
A god-fearing, flag-waving patriot
