5. Agnes, oh Agnes
Oh, how I love you
Agnes, oh Agnes
Oh, how you made me blue
‘Cause today I was informed by the FBI
You're nothing but a teenage Russian spy
Agnes, oh Agnes
Just what have you done?
Agnes, my Agnes
For the Soviet Union
If only you were booked for beltin' some guy
Instead of for being a teenage Russian spy
I thought that you really cared
The night that we first kissed
But now I know that you were just playing with me
‘Cause I was a son of an atomic scientist
Agnes, oh Agnes
Life's more than I can bear
‘Cause Agnes, my Agnes
They're giving you the chair
But even though you are a teenage Russian spy
Agnes, my Agnes I'll love you ‘til you die
Spoken:
I can't help myself Agnes,
I love you ‘til you die Agnes
Wave bye, bye Agnes
More power to you Agnes
Agnes, the Teenage Russian Spy
9. McCarthyism: the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, secret bad behavior, or
treason (attempting to overthrow the government) without actually having evidence that
proves the people did it.
This refers to something that happened IN the U.S. from about 1950 to 1956. It happened
all over the country, but much of these happenings were led by a U.S. Senator from
Wisconsin, named Joseph McCarthy.
Support for these kind of agttacks faded, and on December 2, 1954, the Senate voted
to censure (say officially he had officially mis-behaved) Senator McCarthy by a vote of 67 to
22, making him one of the few senators ever to be disciplined in this fashion.
McCarthy died in Bethesda Naval Hospital on May 2, 1957, at the age of 48 from the disease
Hepatitis.
10. Get That Communist Joe
Joe, come here a minute
I get a red hot tip for you, Joe
See that guy with the red suspenders
Driving that car with the bright red fenders
I know he's one of those heavy spenders
Get that Communist Joe
He's fillin' my gal with propaganda
And I'm scared she will meander
Don't want to take a chance that he'll land her
Get that Communist Joe
He's a most revolting character
And the fellas hate him so
But with the girls this character
Is a Comrade Romeo
Since my love he's sabotaging
And the law he has been dodging
Give him what he deserves, jailhouse lodging
Get that Communist Joe (Get that Shmo, Joe)
