The Ultimate Sectarian (Satirical Leftist Anti-Sectarian Song) chords
Start Jamming...
[F#] Bill Bailey belonged to every radical [Bm] party that ever came [D] to be
Till he finally decided to start his own [A] party so he wouldn't disagree
[D] He got himself an office with a sign outside the door [G] with Marx's League in letters [D] read
And [B] to everyone who came around [A] these were the words he said
[B] Oh you may be a friend of Max Shackman, Jim Cannon, and you may [D] agree
[G] You may get along with Norman Thomas and with Algin and [D] Lee
You may be an old time [E] wobbly and [G] think J.
Love sounds [B] fine
Yes you may be a comrade to all of those folks but you ain't no comrade of [D] mine
For seventeen years Bill Bailey kept his office with a [G] sign outside [D] the door
But he never, ever got a new [A] member, everybody made him sore
[D] And then one night there came a big fire and threw the flame and smoke
As the firemen rushed in to save Bill's [A] life these were the words he spoke
[B] Oh you may be a friend of [D] Ben Gitlow, Reverend Musty, and you may agree
[G] You may get along with Emma Goldman and with the [D] SLP
[Gm] You may have belonged to every [Bm] radical party [G] that ever [D] had a line
Yes you may be a comrade to all of those [B] folks but you ain't no [D] comrade of mine
And so on that day Bill Bailey passed away [Bm] and his soul to red heaven [E] flew
He was met at the gate by old Karl [A] Marx and Frederick Engels too
[D] They said welcome comrade and they opened the door [G] to let Bill come [B] inside
As he slammed the gate back in old [A] Karl's face these were the words he cried
Oh [D] you may be a friend of Karl Kalski and a pal of Berdlisow
[G] You may get along with Bill Hemley and the First [A] International
Yes [Bm] you may have inspired every radical party from the Hudson to [B] the Rhine
[E] Oh you may be a comrade [Bm] to all of those folks [A] but you ain't no [D] comrade of mine
[C#]
Can [G#]
I join your group?
No piss off!
I didn't want to sell this stuff, it's only a job, I hate the Romans as much as anybody!
Shh shh shh shh shh shh
Are you sure?
Oh dead sure, I hate the Romans already
Listen, if you wanted to join the PFJ you'd have to really hate the Romans
I do!
Oh yeah, how much?
A lot!
Right, you're in
Listen, the only people we hate more than the Romans are the fucking Judean People's Front
Yeah, and the Judean Popular People's Front
Oh yeah, and the People's Front of Judea Splitters!
What?
The People's Front of Judea, splitters!
We're the People's Front of Judea
Oh, I thought we were the Popular Front People's Front!
Whatever happened to the Popular [D#] Front?
[C] He's over there
[C#] Splitters!
