I'm tired of moon-songs of star and of june songs,   They simply make me nap   And ditties romantic drive me nearly frantic   I think they're all full of pap      History's making, nations are quaking   Why sing of stars above   For while we are waiting father time's creating   New things to be singing of      Sing me a song with social significance   All other tunes are taboo   I want a ditty with heat in it,   Appealing with feeling and meat in it!      Sing me a song with social significance   Or you can sing 'til you're blue   Let meaning shine from ev'ry line   Or I won't love you      Sing me of wars and sing me of breadlines   Tell me of front page news   Sing me of strikes and last minute headlines   Dress your observation in syncopation!      Sing me a song with social significance   There's nothing else that will do   It must get hot with what is what   Or I won't love you.      I want a song that's satirical   And putting the mere into miracle   It must be packed with social fact   Or I won't love you      Sing me of kings and conf'rences martial   Tell me of mills and mines   Sing me of courts that aren't impartial   What's to be done with 'em tell me in rhythm      Sing me a song with social significance   There's nothing else that will do   It must be tense with common sense   Or I won't love you.
