Gimme That Ol’ Communism! – A Song from the PCUSA 3rd Congress

Gimme That Ol’ CommunismLyrics:

[Intro solo]

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me

It was good enough for Lenin, it was good enough for Stalin
It was good enough for Gus Hall, it’s good enough for me

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me

It was good enough for Foster, it was good enough for Winston
It was good enough for Rosa, it’s good enough for me

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me

It was good enough for farmers, it was good enough for martyrs,
It was good enough for unions, it’s good enough for me

[Solo]

It helped us raise our wages, it freed us from our cages,
It’ll see us through the ages, it’s good enough for me

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me

It helped us fight the fascists, when they tried to smash us,
They thought that they’d outlast us, it’s good enough for me

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me

It saved us from the slaughter, we need it like it’s water,
We’ll teach our sons and daughters, it’s good enough for me

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me

Gimme that ol’ Communism, Gimme that ol’ Communism
Gimme that ol’ Communism, it’s good enough for me
