Birds protest, boys protest Waving lots of signs and making noise protest Let's protest, let's demonstrate Budist monks wrapped in flames protest Burning with desire to show their aims protest Let's protest, let's demonstrate The men on old Yarra bank protest They have done it for years Now it's in, we protest Bring our fears to all ears CNDs protest, conscriptees protest Or for aborigines protest Let's protest, let's demonstrate Our government frowns when we protest Looking down with aplomb Yet look what they did When France dropped her H-bomb That bomb caused, as you all guessed, protest Yes! There was an anti-test protest Let's protest, let's demonstrate Men without qualms using arms protest Their cause they will win Shooting at Kennedy's back protest Or Arthur Caldwell's chin The Ku KluX Klan 'gainst fellow man protest Those who hate the Yanks throughout Japan protest Let's protest, let's demonstrate Girls at drive-ins in MGs protest Do they mean what they say? Girls who striptease protest 'Bout bare-top ballet Girls on a perch left in the lurch protest The clergy from their pulpits in the church protest Let's protest, let's demonstrate Bob Dylan hoes a long row of protest Wouldn't you for all that dough protest So let's protest, let's demonstrate
