lirik lagu joe glazer - the ballad of october 16th
[intro]
“i want this program to be fair and properly balanced, so i should point out that there were a number of anti~roosevelt songs, some from the right and some from the left. first lady eleanor roosevelt was very active working against racial discrimination, and she became as much a target as fdr was himself. this ditty reflects the prejudices of those days: ‘you kiss the negroes and i’ll kiss the jews—and we’ll stay in the white house as long as we choose.'” (audience murmurs)
“ooh, you can boo if you want to.” (audience chuckles)
“now, on the other side, communists and people sympathetic to the communists attacked roosevelt during the period of the stalin~hitler pact, which was signed in august of 1939, and which ended on june 21st, 1941, when hitler attacked the soviet union. during this two~year period, the communists said, ‘no interference in europe!’ they had a slogan: ‘yanks are not comin’!’ and they sang this song.”
[verse]
oh, franklin roosevelt told the people how he felt
we d~mned near believed what he said
he said, “i hate war, and so does eleanor
but we won’t be safe till everybody’s dead”
[outro]
“well, you get the idea.” (audience laughter)
