The Integrity Song (53)

The Integrity Song (53)

1
Integrity, integrity, this is an easy song
John Cohen played integrity, and never got it wrong
“How do you play integrity?” Dylan was heard to moan
While finishing a song he called just “Like a Rolling Stone”

Chorus
Integrity, integrity, it’s time to sing along
How else are we to save the world now Jesus Christ has gone?
Eventually Cohen and Baez will be homeward bound
So singers with integrity feel free to come around

2
Integrity, integrity, Joan Baez was keen at least
John Cohen was delighted when Joan performed for peace
She cares so much about the world she really is the kind
A pity that her boyfriend Bob dawdled far behind

Chorus
Integrity, integrity, it’s time to sing along
How else are we to save the world now Jesus Christ has gone?
Eventually Cohen and Baez will be homeward bound
So singers with integrity feel free to call around

3
Integrity, integrity, John Lennon did his best
But when he played integrity, he did not pass the test
Having dumped sweet Cynthia to be with a new dame
Whose role in a plastic band was her sole claim to fame

Chorus
Integrity, integrity, it’s time to sing along
How else are we to save the world now Jesus Christ has gone?
Eventually Cohen and Baez will be homeward bound
So singers with integrity feel free to come around

John Cohen and Joan Baez have shown us the way
The more that sing integrity
The better that this world will be
Since integrity provides the key
For those that dream today

The End
