[00:00.00]Dear Mr. President - Pete Seeger
[00:09.59]Dear Mr President I set me down
[00:11.66]To send you greetings from my home town
[00:13.66]And send you best wishes
[00:14.45]From all the friends I know
[00:16.00]In Texas Alabama Ohio
[00:18.71]And affiliated places
[00:21.04]I'm an ordinary guy worked most of my life
[00:23.18]Sometime I'll settle down with my kids and wife
[00:25.27]And I like to see a movie or take a little drink
[00:27.27]I like being free to say what I think
[00:29.89]Sort of runs in the family
[00:31.93]My grandpa crossed the ocean
[00:33.61]For the same reason
[00:36.20]Now I hate Hitler and I can tell you why
[00:38.36]He's caused lots of good
[00:39.40]Folks to suffer and die
[00:40.67]He's got a way of shoving folks around
[00:42.80]I figure it's about time we
[00:43.94]Slapped him down
[00:44.87]Give him a dose of his own medicine
[00:47.36]Lead poisoning
[00:50.35]Now Mr President
[00:51.47]We haven't always agreed in the past I know
[00:54.02]But that ain't at all important now
[00:56.02]What is important is what we got to do
[00:57.74]We got to lick Mr Hitler and until we do
[01:00.24]Other things can wait
[01:02.94]In other words first we got a skunk to skin
[01:07.00]War means overtime and higher prices
[01:09.29]But we're all willing to make sacrifices
[01:10.66]Hell I'd even stop fighting
[01:12.13]With my mother in law
[01:13.16]Cause we need her too
[01:14.11]To win the war old battle ax
[01:18.62]Now as I think of our great land
[01:20.20]Of the cities and towns and farming land
[01:21.92]There's so many good people
[01:23.11]Working every day
[01:24.51]I know it ain't perfect but it
[01:25.79]Will be some day
[01:26.80]Just give us a little time
[01:28.54]This is the reason that I want to fight
[01:30.66]Not because every thing's
[01:31.43]Perfect or every thing's right
[01:32.66]No it's just the opposite
[01:34.03]I'm fighting because I want
[01:35.21]A better America with better laws
[01:37.75]And better homes and jobs and schools
[01:39.69]And no more Jim Crow and no more rules
[01:41.94]Like you can't ride on this train
[01:44.71]Cause you're a Negro
[01:46.42]You can't live here cause you're a Jew
[01:49.13]You can't work here cause you're a union man
[01:52.97]There's a line keeps running
[01:54.29]Through my head
[01:55.27]I think it was something Joe Louis once said
[01:57.94]Said There's lots of things wrong
[01:59.42]But Hitler won't help them
[02:02.94]Now Mr President
[02:04.18]You're commander in chief of our armed forces
[02:06.51]Ships and planes and the tanks and horses
[02:08.64]I guess you know best just where I can fight
[02:11.17]All I want to be is situated right
[02:12.63]To do the most damage
[02:15.23]I never was one to try and shirk
[02:17.20]And let the other fellow do all the work
[02:19.51]So when the time comes I'll be on hand
[02:21.15]And make good use of these two hands
[02:24.18]Quit playing this banjo around with the boys
[02:25.95]And exchange it for something
[02:27.35]That makes more noise
[02:30.26]So Mr President
[02:32.58]We've got this one big job to do
[02:34.35]That's lick Mr Hitler and when we're through
[02:36.76]Let no one else ever take his place
[02:38.66]To trample down the human race
[02:41.78]So what I want is you to give me a gun
[02:43.64]So we can hurry up and get the job done
