  • I don't like this new wave.I don't like rock'n'roll.I don't like folk or classical,Country, jazz, or soul.No, I don't like you, babe,An', O, I don' like me.There's jus' one thingThat I would like:To make this country free.Make this country free, Lord.Make this country free!Ooh-Whee!I love liberty,'Don't tread on me,'Make this country free.It should be a free country:It's done been paid for!It's been bought, paid for,And sold, I might add.It's been bought, paid for,Sold out. Yeah!I don't like it down South.I don't like it up North.I don't like the opera,The stage, ballet, or sports.I don't like movies,Radio (oh-oh) music or TV.The only thingThat I would like'sTo make this country free!Make this country free, Lord.Make this country free!Ooh-Wee!I love liberty, 'Don't tread on me.'Make this country free,It's been bought, paid for,And sold, I might add.It's been bought, paid for,Sold out. Yeah!Now, bad moods don't like nothin'.Good moods like it all.Good moods got good lovin',Oh, an' bad moods only ball.In reality I like all of the stuffPanned in this poetry,But it ain't no joke about the yoke:Set this country free!Set this country free, Man!Make this country free!Ooh-ooh-We!I love liberty.Don't (you) tread on me(?)!Make this country free!(Alternate title: All of this Stuff Penned in this Po' Tree.
