Incitin'

Makin' a speech and passin' out leaflets.
The fawmal charge is Incitin' to Riot.
Ain't you ever seen my act?
Well, I'm creepin' along in the dark.
My eyes is crafty, my pockets is bulgin'.
I'm loaded, armed to the teeth..with leaflets.
And am I quick on the draw!
I come up to you....very slow......very snaky......
And with one fell gesture......
I tuck a leaflet in your hand.
And then, one two\three.....
There's a riot.   You're the riot.
I incited you,     I'm terrific I am


--"The Cradle Will Rock" by Narc Blitzstein, 1936
