| PRIVATE ENTERPRISE FOREVER
(Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)
We've built this mighty nation with
our enterprising cash,
We've all become accustomed to a
periodic crash,
So you mustn't be alarmed if things
seem to go to smash,
For Profits must prevail.
CHORUS:
Private enterprise forever,
Private enterprise forever,
Private enterprise forever,
For Profits must prevail.
Communistic, socialistic, anarchistic
blah,
Revolution, insurrection, strikes,
et cetera,
We'll all join together in a long
and loud "Bushwa",
For profits must prevail.
CHORUS:
We've organized the N.A.M., the
Junior C. of C.,
Our lobbyists are hard at work in
Washington, D.C.,
To preserve Congressional confidence
in a free economy,
For profits must prevail.
CHORUS:
Our workers strike and organize and
call us dirty names,
If their wives and kids are starving,
we'll admit it's a shame.
We wish that they would understand
that we are not to blame,
For Profits must prevail.
CHORUS:

JOE MCCARTHY'S BAND
Oh, my name is Joe McCarthy, I'm the
leader of the band;
Republicans were worried, till I
took the witness stand;
We had no red-hot issues, for the
coming fall campaign,
But when I shouted "COMMUNIST", the
Old Guard hopped the train.
CHORUS:
Oh, Wherry yowled and Bridges howls,
and Jenner joins the squawkin';
McCarthy leads the orchestra, while
Mundt says, "Keep on talkin'."
Hickenlooper tootles the flute, when
Lattimore takes the stand;
The sourest note in Washington is
Joe McCarthy's band.
Tootle-de-do, try and sue,
Tootle-de-do, try and sue,
Tootle-de-do, I'll tell you more,
But, - I'll never say it off the
Senate floor.
Right now we are rehearsing for a very
swell affair
Because before November, we must all
go on the air.
But we're having lots of trouble,
mathematics ain't no fun;
We claimed 200 commies, but we ain't
caught even one.
CHORUS:
I am the best detec-a-tive within
the Senate hall;
I can't be bothered with evidence, I
use a crystal ball.
I've taught J. Edgar Hoover and his
boy scout F.B.I.
That proof is not required when
you're out to catch a spy.
CHORUS:
