Raise'n Duck Cup To Da Grapes Of Wrath

Raise'n Duck Cup To Da Grapes Of Wrath

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

major organs ready to burst openĀ 
Ā  Ā cuz day r all a failin'
unless salvation does da liver
from a stingy farmerĀ 
Ā  Ā 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 – 
Ā  Ā ā€˜cept un shaw
if me pa
will ever appear on Oprah
whar guest’s literary car – 
Ā  Ā rears into grand prix hoopla

An win free dim lifts us lock a hawk,Ā 
Ā  Ā 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 extendĀ 
Ā  Ā da family tree
dat ma will live to see
re:
charging the Joad jalopyĀ 
Ā  Ā in part from me
tink rin hands dat like ta messĀ 
Ā  Ā with oil hand stains
one mo scar – craning neck 2 earn

An huh tha red badge of courageĀ 
Ā  Ā upon this Okie
hunched o’er with stiff backĀ 
Ā  Ā while wounded knee

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