Verse
D E
When I was just a little thing I used to love parades
A D
with banners, bands and red balloons and maybe lemonade
D E
when I came home one mayday my neighbours father said
A D
them marchers is all commies tell me kid are you a red?
[Verse 2]
D E
well, I didnt know just what he meant my hair back then was brown
A D
our house was plain red brick like most others in the town
D E
so I went and asked my mamma why our neighbour called me red
A D
my mummy took me on her knee and this is what she said
[Chorus]
D E
Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
A D
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
D E
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
A D
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 3]
D E
When I was growin' up, had my troubles I suppose
A D
when someone took exception to my face or to my clothes
D E
or tried to cheat me on a job or hit me on the head
A D
when I organised to fight back why the stinkers called me red
[Chorus]
D E
But you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
A D
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
D E
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
A D
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 4]
D E
When I was livin' on my own one apartment that I had
A D
had a lousy rotten landlord let me tell ya he was bad
D E
but when he tried to throw me out I rubbed my hands and said
A D
you haven't seen a struggle if you haven't fought a red!
[Chorus]
D E
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
A D
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
D E
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
A D
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 5]
D E
Well I kept on agitatin', cause what else can you do?
A D
you're gonna let the sons of bitches walk all over you
D E
my friends said you'll get fired, hanging with that commie mob
A D
I should be so lucky buddy, I ain't got a job
[Chorus]
D E
And you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
A D
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
D E
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
A D
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
[Verse 6]
D E
Well I've been agitatin' now for fifty years or more
A D
for jobs or for equality and always against war
D E
I'll keep on agitatin' as far as I can see
A D
and if that's what being red is then It's good enough for me
[Chorus]
D E
'Cause you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
A D
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
D E
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
A D
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
