Previously, I hadn't known Tom Paxton wrote "George W. Told the Nation" as a spin off from an earlier song "Lyndon Johnson told the Nation." Thanks to a comment on the video I made of "George W. Told the nation" by Carol, I became aquainted with the song. Here is Tom Paxton singing his anti vietnam war song "Lyndon Johnson told the Nation" with images of the era, which also includes my father's own "letter from LBJ" For anyone interested in the period of the Vietnam war and reaction to it back home in the United States, Michael Wright's Memoirs is linked below. members.aol.com. + Informações

The Paxton Report - 1980 SomeWhat Reduced quality. Lyrics: President Carter got into his boat; Wasn't in a hurry, wanted to float. Think about the country, think about sin. Along swum a rabbit, and he tried to climb in. (spoken) "And what did Jimmy say?" [Cho:] "I don't want a bunny wunny in my little row boat, In my little row boat in the pond. For the bunny might be crazy and he'll bite me in the throat, In my little row boat in the pond." Look at him swimming, look at him fly, Ears laid back and a gleam in his eye! Hissing through his front teeth, swimming like a seal! If you were the President, how would you feel? You'd prob'ly say, [Cho:] President Carter saved the day; Splashed with the paddle, rabbit swam away. Jimmy was a hero, felt it in his bones, Said in the words of John Paul Jones, [Cho:]. + Informações
