(G) Three thousand of us
showed up to the hearing at Ft. Bragg
We were (C) tired of demonstrations
'cause they'd (G) gotten to be a drag
But we knew they'd drill
our coastline if we (Em) didn't go and nag
The (C) libs go (D) marching (G) on
Chorus:
(G) Yuppie, yuppie Mendocino
(C) Yuppie, yuppie Mendo-(G)cino
Yuppie, yuppie Mendo-(Em)cino
The (C)libs go (D) marching (G) on
We stepped up to the podium
to spew our drivel out
We knew that every word
we spoke could not be done without
Our poetry and dance would
save the coast without a doubt
The libs go marching on
We wrote a book about ourselves
and cut a record, too
And you can buy our video
and take us home with you
But blockading their seismic
boats is something we don't do
The libs go marching on
Now Rachel Binah is the
Ocean Sanctuary Queen
And you can watch her nightly
on your cable TV screen
It's all an advertisement
for her bed and breakfast scene
The libs go marching on
We went to Judi's vigil
with our candles in the rain
We knew that everyone of
us must share in Judi's pain
Who'd think that in a year
from now we'd all denounce her name
The libs go marching on
So go back to your condo's
with your Salvadoran maids
And eat out at the Hotel
where the help is underpaid
And they can drill Alaska
and you'll think your coast is saved
The libs go marching on
