Raise'n Duck Cup To Da Grapes Of Wrath

Raise'n Duck Cup To Da Grapes Of Wrath

Well there’s Hooverville 
   on the edge of the river
haint nuttin boot flimsy cardboard 
   e’en with clothes will shiver
waiting for tension to be released 
   like a arrow in a taut quiver

major organs ready to burst open 
   cuz day r all a failin'
unless salvation does da liver
from a stingy farmer 
   nada one of him a giver

Hence a goin to Cali for n’ya
in battered up truck n wailin' wah wah
ta feed da chill n beasts o burr den – 
   ‘cept un shaw
if me pa
will ever appear on Oprah
whar guest’s literary car – 
   rears into grand prix hoopla

An win free dim lifts us lock a hawk, 
   this kid rock will nah
dat he suffered faw a distant few cha
migrants we may be – butta we bah
dog on judas priest, Christ and allah

Rose of Sharon wool extend 
   da family tree
dat ma will live to see
re:
charging the Joad jalopy 
   in part from me
tink rin hands dat like ta mess 
   with oil hand stains
one mo scar – craning neck 2 earn

An huh tha red badge of courage 
   upon this Okie
hunched o’er with stiff back 
   while wounded knee

continually bunged up with utter glee
at engine cough fin smoke 
   to git us free
whar we kin sally in da pacific fields yipeee.
