The Night Old Ditzy Hit The Ground

Joan Baez is her name, and she had some sixties fame,
Then Beatles madness came and folk songs were out again.
Remember in 1965, they weren't charting, just barely alive.
But then news came, Nixon had fell, was a time that liberals loved so well,

The Night Old Ditzy hit the ground, She heard bells a ringing,
The Night Old Ditzy hit the ground and all the people were singin',
They went Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,

Back in the hills in Hollywood, When one day occurred to she,
"Why don't I go outside, build a house in that tree!"
Now I don't mind chirpin' birds,
But I just hit ground and my vision's blurred.
I'd go up at night and there take my rest,
I had no idea I'd be kicked out of the nest.

The Night Old Ditzy hit the ground, She heard bells a ringing,
The Night Old Ditzy hit the ground and all the people were singin',
They went Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha,

Woody Guthrie before me, I sang of the land,
Like Bob Dylan above me, I took a liberal stand.
We were just eighteen, proud and naive,
Then Kennedy was laid in his grave,
I swear by the thud felt in my seat,
You can't raise up Hope and Change when it's in defeat.
