Whatever It Is

Just because I was thinking about this song in reference to how I feel about our Austrian governor. More on that crucial topic ... later.

Whatever It Is, I'm Against It

By Harry Ruby (music) and Bert Kalmar (lyrics)

Performed by Groucho Marx in "Horse Feathers" (1932)
(Sound file here.)

I don't know what they have to say,
It makes no difference anyway --
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I'm against it.

Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood --
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And even when you've changed it or condensed it,
I'm against it.

I'm opposed to it --
On general principles I'm opposed to it!

Chorus: He's opposed to it!
In fact, in word, in deed,
He's opposed to it!

For months before my son was born,
I used to yell from night till morn,
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And I've kept yelling since I commenced it,
I'm against it!

Great song. I've always liked that one. Groucho's delivery on camera wasn't bad either.

Great song. I have always thought it was the hymn of the Republican Party.
