Ev-ev-ry f-f-four y-years I-I get n-n-nervous and start r-r-ringinā my hands

Th-th-thinkinā a-a-about the B-B-Bogeyman and t-the S-S-Supreme Courtā¦
An-an-and I-I-I g-g-get a-a-a l-l-lilā b-b-bit m-m-more than n-n-n-nervous
T-t-thinkinā how l-l-like Indians the B-B-Bogeyman might Re-Reserve Usā¦

Hmā¦guess organizing militant mass struggle never even entered my mind!
