lirik lagu joe glazer & bill friedland - bill bailey

[verse 1]
bill bailey belonged to every radical party that ever came to be
’til he finally decided to start his own party so he wouldn’t disagree
he got himself an office with a sign outside the door with “marxist league” in letters red
and to everyone who came around, these were the words he said:

[chorus]
“oh, you may be a friend of max shachtman; jim cannon and you may agree
you may get along with norman thomas and with algernon lee
you may be an old~time wobbly, and think jay lovestone’s fine
yes, you may be a comrade to all of those folks, but you ain’t no comrade of mine”

[verse 2]
for seventeen years bill bailey kept his office with the sign outside the door
but he never, ever got a new member everybody made him sore
and then one night, there came a big fire, and through the flame and smoke
as firemen rushed in to save bill’s life, these were the words he spoke:

[chorus]
“oh, you may be a friend of ben gitlow; reverend muste and you may agree
you may get along with emma goldman and with the slp
you may have belonged to every radical party that ever had a line
yes, you may be a comrade to all of those folks, but you ain’t no comrade of mine”

[verse 3]
and so on that day, bill bailey passed away and his soul to red heaven flew
he was met at the gate by old karl marx and friedrich engels too
they said, “welcome, comrade,” as they opened the door to let bill come inside
as he slammed the gate back in old karl’s face, these were the words he cried:
[chorus]
“oh, you may be a friend of karl kautsky, and a pal of ferd lasalle
you may get along with wilhelm liebknecht and the first internationale
yes, you may have inspired every radical party from the hudson to the rhine
oh, you may be a comrade to all of those folks, but you ain’t no comrade of mine”
