Frenzy

Lyrics

Let me tell you about Karl Marx A visionary fish in a pool of sharks He was a funny guy I don't have to tell you why His one-liners were the best Like the one in the past About the Casablanca Manifest For that night, a woman she came And she went away To warn some others To warn her brothers But Karl just said: "hey F-word off I know you guys up to your eyes I know that you F-word your mothers" He was really quite a laugh I just couldn't get enough I saw all his movies one by one They were thought-provoking Like a gun that's smoking And I'm not joking But this son of a gun Had only just begun To have some fun And don't forget about the book he wrote With plenty of "workers, you'll get fired" scenes Hello you must be going If you know what that means People used to laugh their heads off loud Just like in the gay old times With them good old guillotines And then there's Groucho, a serious bloke Who never told a single joke He had a beard that might seem weird But he sure wasn't shy as he cast the die For he told the bosses: "you bet your lie" Let's put things in hysterical perspective To make my remarks a bit more effective For those were the days And the days took a hike When the West would insist On a sit-down strike For the stand-up communist Not columnist, economist, but communist Not chameleon, comedian but communist Well that's not arty-farty That's when Lenin met McCarthy And this, as far as I can see Was the beginning of a beautiful frenzy The beginning of a beautiful frenzy
