YOU'RE FREE TO DO WHATEVER YOU CAN BE, song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler

music by Peter Abzug

Papa's in the kitchen, fussin' and a bitchin'
Bout all them that's runnin' down America
Mama's on the ladder, says it doesn't matter
Papa's says, "Don't you know it's the land I love?

"Here you're free to do what you can be
Free to see whatever you can believe!"
Papa's so demanding, says "Peace and understanding's
The only things you never can get too much of!"

Free, cause you're free,
cause you're free to do what you can be
Free, cause you're free,
cause you're free to see whatever you can believe

You can be a gypsy, hobo or a hippie
Or a millionaire without even a dime to lend
You can make a scandal or become a vandal
If you think the means will justify the end

Cause you're free to do what you can be
Free to see whatever you wanna believe
So when they come to test you, torture and arrest you,
Just tell them that the President is your best friend!
