Pete Seeger - Do As The Doukhobors Do
There's a new tactic to use, my dearIf you have a protest no one wants to hear
Just attend a rally where the big shots meet
Strip to your hide and walk down the street
Way up in Canada, Doukhobor lads
Were sent to public schools disapproved
Of by their dads so the Doukhobor mamas
Said "That's enough"
And they went to the meeting in the buff
Do as the Doukhobors do, honey
Do as the Doukhobors do
If public policy gets on your nerves
And no one pays attention to you
Throw away your dresses and your lingerie too
And do as the Doukhobors do
Our women hold meetings to stop atom tests
They're not afraid of billy clubs
Cops and arrests
They sign those petitions 'til they're
Sad in the face
And still they seem to be getting no place
They little boat EVERYMAN
Couldn't leave port
Bomb tests continue of every sort
We've got to do something
That's wild and new
And do as the Doukhobors do
Do as the Doukhobors do, honey
Do as the Doukhobors do
If public policy gets on your nerves
And no one pays attention to you
Throw away your dresses and your lingerie too
And do as the Doukhobors do
Of course
Down in Cannes on the coast of France
You'd get no attention minus bras and pants
If you'd hit the beach in a grin or less
They'd think you had on
Last year's bathing dress
But up there in Canada at twenty below
People keep covered from head to toe
Kennedy would send a cup of coffee or two
If we did as the Doukhobors do
Do as the Doukhobors do, honey
Do as the Doukhobors do
If public policy gets on your nerves
And no one pays attention to you
Throw away your dresses and your lingerie too
And do as the Doukhobors do
