Janis Ian Danger Danger


You got Ma Rainey talkin' 'bout a jelly roll Chuck Berry workin' on a mojo Bessie Smith singin' Bull Dagger Blues Elvis twiching on the evening news

Danger, danger, can't you see that sex should stay a mystery so ban that music, yessirree That's what America means to me

We gonna ban Walt Whitman, and Jean Cocteau All the queers will have to go Mr. Tennessee Williams, Plato too You got to give J. Edgar Hoover his due

Danger, danger, can't you see They're in your local library so ban those authors, yessirree That's what America means to me, yeah

We gonna ban all the dagos, the wops and the kikes Gonna ban all the chinks and the towelhead types Ban all the wetbacks, ban all the fags Wrap it up tight in the American flag

Danger, danger, can't you see it's dangerous when they are free so ban those lazy refugees That's what America means to me

I watched the news last night at nine Saw a head blown off somebody's spine The women moaned and the children screamed Doesn't anybody else think that's obscene?

It ought to be a felony to practice such stupidity but it's my right, as you can see That's what America means to me, yeah
