Next thing you know, they'll be giving her

Next thing you know, they'll be asking you,

To be honest with you, I don't know. Whether they'll agree or not...

or the next thing that they'll find

...or else they'll worry.

Next thing you know, they'll be bringing me bacon.

or next thing you know,

The White House or…

Or somebody else's thing, you know?

Next, they'll be throwing white kids in jail

Next thing you know, they'll start burning books.

Next thing you know, they'll want to vote.

Or they'll know.

or else they'll never learn.

- The White House? - What else?

Next thing ya know, they'll be saying l've gone soft.
