[lyrics transcribed from the sheet music]

Shh! Shh! what an awful sight
Shh! Shh! See those forms in white
there's a hundred thousand men
and cows and donkeys in the band,
Shh! Shh! can't you hear that sound
Shh! Shh! going all around,
tell me don't you fear it can't you hear it
traveling thru' the land;

[chorus]
Ku-Ku, Ku-Ku, that's the kluck kluck klucking
of the Ku Klux Klan,
Ku-Ku, Ku-ku, that's the gobble, gobble, gobble,
of the Goblin Man,
they call 'round in their nighties
and if you're not your best,
they'll dress you like a chicken
put feathers on your chest*,
Ku-Ku, Ku-Ku, they will get you if they can,

So if your land-lord tries to profiteer,
tell the Klan and he will surely hear
Ku, Ku Ku, that's the klucking of the Ku Klux Klan

So don't drink wine and don't drink homemade beer
if you do you're surely goin' to hear
Ku, Ku Ku, that's the klucking of the Ku Klux Klan

So if you really want to disappear
beat your wife and you will surely hear
Ku, Ku Ku, that's the klucking of the Ku Klux Klan
