Mr. Smith
went to Washington
To fight for truth and right
Strong voice for our POWS
Diogenes' bright light
Proud son of
old New Hampshire
A Statesman of renown
Staunch heir of our Founding Fathers
In Foggy Bottoms Town
Not afraid to
stand alone
When justice called his name
No godling of party lines
Bob remembered why he came
Not for fame
and glory
Bold witness for his soul
He bore the wrath of lesser men...
Who bore a lesser goal
No friend of
"the Fifth Column"
The quislings of Vietnam
Corporate "sons of Brutus"
Nor "cardsharp Uncle Sams"
Brave
advocate...for heroes lost
That Washington denied
Mr. Smith left Washington...
And Lady Justice cried.
