Nina Simone - Go Limp Lyrics
Alex comfort, nina simoneOh daughter, dear daughter,Take warning from meAnd dont you go marchingWith the n-a-a-c-p.For theyll rock you and roll youAnd shove you into bed.And if they steal your nuclear secretYoull wish you were dead.(refrain:)Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay.Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay.Oh mother, dear mother,No, Im not afraid.For Ill go on that marchAnd Ill return a virgin maid.With a brick in my handbagAnd a smile on my faceAnd barbed wire in my underwearTo shed off disgrace.(refrain)One day they were marching.A young man came byWith a beard on his cheekAnd a gleam in his eye.And before she had timeTo remember her brick...They were holding a sit-downOn a nearby hay rig.(refrain)For meeting is pleasureAnd parting is pain.And if I have a great concertMaybe I wont have to sing those folk songs again.Oh mother, dear motherIm stiff and Im soreFrom sleeping three nightsOn a hard classroom floor.(refrain)One day at the briefingShed heard a man say,Go perfectly limp,And be carried away.So when this young man suggestedIt was time she was kissed,She remembered her briefAnd did not resist.(refrain)Oh mother, dear mother,No need for distress,For the young man has left meHis name and address.And if we winTho a baby there be,He wont have to marchLike his da-da and me.
