Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
In 1960, JFK opened up the
New Frontier. Tragedy
took him away and made
it a time of "Burn, Ba-
by, Burn!", but along
came a guy to save the
day.
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
In that land lived an
evil giant, name of;
Wierd Harold". Now,
Ole Wierd Harold had
this pack of mangy,
vicious curs, named -
Journal, Star, Daily
Nebraskan, AP, UPI,
and others; and Ole
Wierd Harold said,
"I'm gonna git you,
boy!"
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
Old Weird Harold said,
"Boy! You prejudeesed,
but I hain't; but I
cain't stand no Jews,
no Blacks, no Indians,
no Catholics, no Irish,
no Italians, no Polish,
etc. etc."
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
Ernie said, "I am preju-
diced, and proud to be a
Black; and I can and will
help everyone, be they,
Jew, Black, Indian, Catho
lic, Irish, Italian, Po-
lish, etc, etc.; and he
has.

Ernie's assis-tance to
people got him elected and
re-elected to the legisla-
ture with increasing sup-
port to over 80% of his
constituents.

Wierd Harold proclaimed
himself to be a devout
Chrisitan, and God-Fear-
ing, and preached the
use of military force
to protect himself from
"Commies".
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
Ernie told Wierd Harold,
"Your god is false, and
you call him 'President'.
I don't accept your god,
and don't need military
protection. I only need
a T-shirt".
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
Wierd Harold said, "Boy!
You cain't wear no T-
shert and be no legit-
lehter"., So he sicced
his mangy curs on Ernie
to tear off his T-shirt
and drag him out of the
legislature.
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
In spite of Wierd Harold,
Ernie is still there, and
this ballad is not
over. May he serve
another score years.
Ernie! Ernie Chambers!
King of the New Frontier!
