Stay away from the White House Stay away, I wish you well Stay away from the White House Stay away, I wish you well Stay away from the White House Or you'll go to (?) Hell Stay away from New York City It costs money to live there Stay away from the country The banks own all the air Stay away from their electric It'll whiten your beard hair Stay away from smoking cigarettes Stay away, stay away Stay your hand from off your Marlboro Stay away, stay away Stay away from nicotine and beer It'll make you old and gay Stay away from fucking broomsticks It'll give you syphilis Stay away from fucking rubber dolls Even if they got big tits Stay away from 14 year old boys Fuck 'em once they call it quits Stay away, stay away Oh yes, yes, stay away From eating chemical donuts For breakfast yesterday Stay away from living death Though the army gives good pay Stay away from capitalism And the boss's CIA Stay away from oil industries They rob your energy Stay away from secret policemen When he calls you out to play Stay away from Satan In the good 'ol U.S.A Stay away from eating meatballs While the Wall Street dodgers play Stay away from the White House This year wish you a fine day Stay away, stay away Away from all that jive Rippin' off the niggers Just to keep the band alive Yeah, rippin' off the nigger How us white musicians thrive Stay away from all them Jew boys With their Zionist delights Stay away from all them Christians Calling all them Jew boys kikes Stay away from all them prophets They'll get you into fights Stay away from all them Arabs With that murder on their mind Stay away from state departments They'll balance (?) you blind Stay away from Rockefeller He blows up an oily wind Stay away from Richard Nixon He'll get you all in jail He'll kick you and he'll punch you And he'll make your vision fail And while he's got you staying away from the White House He will wail Oh, stay away from my White House I got it on my own You can hear it in the basement All them singing plumbers groan Stay away oh all you Democrats Except the hawks I've known You can come into my White House Senator Jackson hawk You're the one that loves the army Billions you will (?) Mr. Ford and CIA Bush Right in my door you walk Stay away from nirvana Your ambition makes you blind Stay away from Brahmaloka You can only grasp the wind Stay away from every heaven You'll wake up in sovereign mind Come down, (?) Come down to Earth right here On Avenue C and 10th Street Make your mind icy clear Come down to Earth Merry Christmas And I wish you a happy New Year
