the pope and the dope

Singer:charlie daniels band, the

now if a order was to come down from the pope

the catholics ain't allowed to smoke no dope

if they couldn't get high would they feel real low

and would they get pissed off down in mexico

and if mayor john lindsey was to propose

the oh calcutta cast had to wear clothes

would they still come all the way from kokomo

just to dig the show

what if eldridge cleaver was to devise a plan

for the black panther party of america to be merged with the ku klux klan

and if richard nixon made spiro agnew

the new ambassador to timbuktu

if he was to do it well

do you guess

it'd improve his relationship with cbs

what if lester maddox was to pass a law

that the black population of georgia had to be moved into arkansas

aww would it make orval faubus sore and start a 2 state civil war

and would they ask the government for federal aid to buy pickaxe handles and razorblades

bop bop bop bop bodeop doe

now if martha mitchell was to address

a special meeting of the sds

if she told them her views on vietnam

would they make her an honorary minuteman

and if governor wallace was to come unglued

and run for president in 72

could he carry all of the southern states

with julian bond for a running mate

now if the cia

and the irs

and the fcc

found out that j. edgar hoover and the fbi owned stock in at&t

and the uaw

and the bno

and the afl and cio

and the icc

and the bvds

and the lsu and ucla

and the oeo

and the kkk

and the pta and the l&n

and the upi and ibm

aww bs!
