You Don't Catch Hell 'cause You're A Baptist, And You Don't Catch Hell 'cause You're A Methodist... You Don't Catch Hell Because You're A Democrat Or A Republican. You Don't Catch Hell Because You're A Mason Or An Elk. And You Sure Don't Catch Hell 'cause You're An American; 'cause If You Was An American, You Wouldn't Catch No Hell.
