  • The sequel to this song was called "We've Got A Bigger Problem Now" which was inspired by the election of President Ronald Reagan. It is the same tune with different lyrics except for repeating "California Uber Alles" (peterpuck9)
  • Song Lyrics:
    I am Governor Jerry Brown
    My aura smiles
    And never frowns
    Soon I will be president

    Carter power will soon go away
    I will be Fuhrer one day
    I will command all of you
    Your kids will meditate in school

    California Über Alles
    Über Alles California

    Zen fascists will control you
    100% natural
    You will jog for the master race
    And always wear the happy face

    Close your eyes; can't happen here
    Big Bro' on white horse is near
    The hippies won't come back you say
    Mellow out or you will pay

    California Über Alles
    Über Alles California

    Now it is 1984
    Knock knock at your front door
    It's the suede/denim secret police
    They have come for your uncool niece

    Come quietly to the camp
    You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
    Don't you worry, it's only a shower
    For your clothes, here's a pretty flower

    Die on organic poison gas
    Serpent's egg's already hatched
    You will crack, you little clown
    When you mess with President Brown

    California Über Alles
    Über Alles California
    (I B Emerson)

    I take it some were looking forward to liberally exposed female flesh while others desired them to be more conservatively dressed?

    The recent heavily partisan fuss over a beauty pageant put this song into my head.
