No No Joe
Now look here Joe, quit acting smart
Stop being that old brazen sort
Don't you go sellin' this country short
No, no Joe
Just because you think you've found
The system that we know ain't sound
Don't you go throwin' your weight around
No, no Joe
'Cause the Kaiser tried it and Hitler tried it
Mussolini tried it too
Now they're all sittin' around a fire and did you know something?
They're saving a place for you
Now Joe you ought to get it clear
You can't push folks around with fear
'Cause we don't scare easy over here
No, no Joe
What makes you do the things you do?
You gettin' folks mad at you
Don't bite off more 'n you can chew
No, no Joe
'Cause you want a scrap that you can't win
You don't know what you're gettin' in
Don't go around leadin' with your chin
No, no Joe
Now you got tanks, some fair size tanks
But you're acting like a clown
'Cause man we've got Yanks, a mess of Yanks
And you might get caught with your tanks down
Don't go throwin' out your chest
You'll pop the buttons off your vest
You're playing with a hornets' nest
No, no Joe
You know, you think you're somebody we should dread
Just because you're seein' red
You better get that foolishness out of your head
No, no Joe
And you might be itchin' for a fight
Quit braggin' about how your bear can bite
'Cause you're sitting on a keg of dynamite
No, no Joe
Stop being that old brazen sort
Don't you go sellin' this country short
No, no Joe
Just because you think you've found
The system that we know ain't sound
Don't you go throwin' your weight around
No, no Joe
'Cause the Kaiser tried it and Hitler tried it
Mussolini tried it too
Now they're all sittin' around a fire and did you know something?
They're saving a place for you
Now Joe you ought to get it clear
You can't push folks around with fear
'Cause we don't scare easy over here
No, no Joe
What makes you do the things you do?
You gettin' folks mad at you
Don't bite off more 'n you can chew
No, no Joe
'Cause you want a scrap that you can't win
You don't know what you're gettin' in
Don't go around leadin' with your chin
No, no Joe
Now you got tanks, some fair size tanks
But you're acting like a clown
'Cause man we've got Yanks, a mess of Yanks
And you might get caught with your tanks down
Don't go throwin' out your chest
You'll pop the buttons off your vest
You're playing with a hornets' nest
No, no Joe
You know, you think you're somebody we should dread
Just because you're seein' red
You better get that foolishness out of your head
No, no Joe
And you might be itchin' for a fight
Quit braggin' about how your bear can bite
'Cause you're sitting on a keg of dynamite
No, no Joe
