Gonna take a message to mother
Tell her that I'll be home soon
Let her know I'm still undercover
Hiding out behind the moon

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground

Better get a message to Martha
Tell her that our workers are doomed
Better call on General McArthur
Tell him the invasion is due

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground
Here come the dollar bombers

Better get the word to the boss man
A wire from the industry spy
Tell him that they're over the border
Trying out the White House for size

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground

The selling of America
Is going on now town by town
The selling of America
You better keep it underground
