It Can't Happen Here Lyrics & Chords By The Mothers Of Invention

It can't happen here
It can't happen here
I'm telling you, my dear
That it can't happen here

Because I been checkin' it out, baby
I checked it out a couple a times, hmm
And I'm telling you it can't happen here
Oh darling, it's important that you believe me
(Bop bop bop bop)
That it can't happen here

Who could imagine
That they would freak out somewhere in Kansas
Kansas Kansas tototototodo
Kansas Kansas tototototodo
Kansas Kansas

Who could imagine
That they would freak out in Minnesota
Mimimimimimimi Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota
Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota
Who could imagine

Who could imagine
That they would freak out in Washington, D.C.
A.C. D.C. A.C. D.C.

It can't happen here
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
It can't happen here
It can't happen here
Everybody's safe and it can't happen here
No freaks for us
It can't happen here
Everybody's clean and it can't happen here
No, no, it won't happen here
I'm telling you it can't
It won't happen here
(Bop bop didi bop didi bop bop bop)

Plastic folks, you know
It won't happen here
You're safe, mama
You're safe, baby
You just cook a TV dinner
And you make it
(Bop bop bop)
No no no no

Oh, we're gonna get a TV dinner and cook it up
Go get a TV dinner and cook it up, cook it up
Oh, and it won't happen here
No no no no no no no no no no no
Man you guys are really safe
Everything's cool
Who could imagine
Who could imagine
That they would freak out in the suburbs!

I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool
I remember (tu-tu)
I remember (tu-tu)
They had a swimming pool

And they thought it couldn't happen here
(duh duh duh duh duh)
They knew it couldn't happen here
They were so sure it couldn't happen here, but

Suzie
Yes yes yes--I've always felt that
Yes I agree man, it really makes it...yeah
It's a real thing, man
And it really makes it
(Makes it)

Suzie, you just got to town
And we've been, we've been very interested in your development
Forget it!
Hmm (It can't happen here)
