Go Limp
Lyricist:Alex Comfort, Nina Simone
Oh daughter, dear daughter Take warnin' from me And don't you go marchin' With the NAACP
For they'll rock you and roll you And shove you into bed And if they steal your nuclear secret She'll wish you were dead
Singin' too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Oh mother, dear mother No, I'm not afraid For I'll go on that march And I'll return a virgin maid
With a brick in my handbag And a smile on my face And barbed wire in my underwear To shed off disgrace
Singin' too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay Singin' too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
One day they were marching A young man came by With a beard on his chin And a gleam in his eye
And before she had time To remember her brick
And before she had time To remember her brick They were holding a sit-down On a neighboring hay rig

For meeting is pleasure And parting is pain And if I have a great concert Maybe I won't have to sing those folk songs again
Oh mother, dear mother I'm stiff and I'm sore From sleeping three nights On a hard classroom floor
Singin' too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay Singin' too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
One day at the briefing She'd heard a man say Go perfectly limp And be carried away
So when this young man suggested It was time she was kissed She remembered her brief And then did not resist
Singin' too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay
Oh mother, dear mother No need for distress For the young man has left me His name and address
And if we win Though a baby there be He won't have to march Like his da-da and me
