"Almost Like Being N. Ludd"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Luddites, English textile workers in the early 1800s who protested--often by destroying textile machines--against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, were named after their mythical leader, Ned Ludd.
What a day this has been;
I smashed a cotton gin,
Why, it's almost like being N. Ludd.

I'm reviled by the pace
Of Revolution's race,
Why, it's almost like being N. Ludd.

I'm enthused by my rife-with-strife deeds;
I wrecked more than The Who Live at Leeds.
And was our eponym real?
Who cares? I've got the zeal
To be mashing and mauling
And machinery stalling.
It's almost like being N. Ludd.
