- I'm looking for the lyrics to a wonderful song I heard at a Folklore
- Society of Greater Washington (FSGW) Getaway years ago. It's called "That
- Trotskyite Mammy of Mine." Some lines, recalled at random include,
- "That Trotskyite Mammy of mine,
- At her apron I first got my line
- And I know that in Heaven, she's lefter than Lenin,
- That Trotskyite Mammy of mine."
- There was also a line about Mammy shouting at a football game, "Shoot your
- captain, you morons, and bore from within!" And something about a game played
- underground, "where the best revolutions are technically found."
- Does anybody have all the lyrics to this wonderful song? If so, please
- e-mail or post them. (Or both!) Thanks!
