Song of the Ada

The bourgeois flag is palest pink
We washed it in the kitchen sink;
And ere the water had grown cold,
The dye had fled it's every fold.
     So let the tattered ensign fly!
     'Neath ADA we'll live and die!
     Though Commies flinch and travelers sneer
     We'll keep the pink flag flying here.

Note: Americans for Democratic Action was a Liberal group of the
late 40's and early 50's.
From the "Person's Song Book"-- U. of Chi. 1948
