[The Mothers of Invention - It Can't Happen Here lyrics]
It can't happen here it can't happen here
I'm telling you, my dear
That it can't happen here
Because I been checkin' it out, baby
I checked it out a couple a times
But I'm telling you it can't happen here
Oh darling
it's important that you believe me
(Bop bop bop bop) that it can't happen here
Who could imagine that they
Would freak out somewhere in Kansas
(Kansas kansas kansas kansas)
(Kansas, Kansas, do do dun to-to
Kansas, Kansas, la la la)
(Kansas, Kansas, do do dun to-to
Kansas, Kansas)
Who could imagine that they would
Freak out in Minnesota
(Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi
Mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mi)
