Commies Stink
Penned when he was in 6th grade, this feel-good anthem speaks of a childhood Chico never grew out of. Despite repeated attempts by friends, family, and The Ramones to claim credit for the lyrics, and an audacious million dollar bid for the rights by the United States Government, Chico held on to this catchy tune, hiding it in his sock drawer. By releasing the song to the public now, he hopes the once-pertinent message will serve as a reminder of the Red threat, and a warning that it may rise again.

Lyrics:
BORN INTO CRISIS, KENT STATE
OIL SHORTAGE, WATERGATE
GO TO SCHOOL, SIT AT A DESK
AIR RAID WHISTLE BLOWS, HIT THAT DECK
CHORUS
COMMIES STINK, YEAH YEAH
COMMIES STINK, YEAH YEAH YEAH
COMMIES STINK, YEAH YEAH
COMMIES STINK, YEAH YEAH YEAH
ALL THE WHILE A COLD WAR RAGED
TWO NATIONS STARING, FACE TO FACE
WE’RE GONNA DIE, SO WHAT’S THE POINT
GET ME DRUNK NOW AND PASS THAT JOINT
CHORUS
BOMBS TO KILL A THOUSAND TIMES OVER
PROLIFERATION, ANNILATION
COMMUNISM, HOW IT LOOMED
OVER OUR GENERATION OF DOOM
CHORUS
