Go Limp Lyrics - Nina Simone

Alex Comfort, Nina Simone 

Oh Daughter, dear Daughter, 

take warning from me 

and don't you go marching 

with the N-A-A-C-P. 

For they'll rock you and roll you 

and shove you into bed. 

And if they steal your nuclear secret 

you'll wish you were dead. 

(refrain:) 

Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay. 

Singin too roo la, too roo la, too roo li ay.

Oh Mother, dear Mother, 

no, I'm not afraid. 

For I'll go on that march 

and I'll return a virgin maid. 

With a brick in my handbag 

and a smile on my face 

and barbed wire in my underwear 

to shed off disgrace. 

(Refrain) 

One day they were marching. 

A young man came by 

with a beard on his cheek 

and a gleam in his eye. 

And before she had time 

to remember her brick... 

they were holding a sit-down 

on a nearby hay rig.

(Refrain) 

For meeting is pleasure 

and parting is pain. 

And if I have a great concert 

maybe I won't have to sing those folk songs again. 

Oh Mother, dear Mother 

I'm stiff and I'm sore 

from sleeping three nights 

on a hard classroom floor. 

(Refrain) 

One day at the briefing 

she'd heard a man say, 

"Go perfectly limp, 

and be carried away." 

So when this young man suggested 

it was time she was kissed, 

she remembered her brief 

and did not resist. 

(Refrain) 

Oh Mother, dear Mother, 

no need for distress, 

for the young man has left me 

his name and address. 

And if we win 

tho' a baby there be, 

he won't have to march 

like his da-da and me.
