[edit] Track listing
- "Morons" (0:58) - Tom explains his theory that power in government exists in relationship to the amount of clothing you wear.
- "Troubador Song" (7:54) - Dick tries to sing a madrigal but Tom keeps making "cheep cheep" bird songs.
- "Smart Juice" (0:57) - Tom gives Dick a taste of his Smart Juice.
- "President Johnson" (0:47) - Tom offers President Johnson political advice.
- "You Didn't Come In" (3:42) - Once again Dick tries to sing "I Talk to the Trees" from the musical Paint Your Wagon; this was the third time the brothers recorded this routine, with earlier versions on Curb Your Tongue, Knave and Golden Hits of the Smothers Brothers, Vol. 2. However, this time it is Dick who stops because Tom always interrupts and ruins the song; but this time he did not.

- "The Impossible Dream (The Quest)" (7:52) - Tom tells the story of lovely, courageous Joan of Arc who built an ark to save all of the animals from the Great Flood.
- "Spread of Democracy" (1:50)
- "United Nations" (1:15)
- "Controversial Material" (6:12) - Tom chastises Dick for the political incorrectness of old songs such as "(Potatoes Are Cheaper--Tomatoes Are Cheaper) Now's The Time to Fall in Love", "Chicago (That Toddling Town)", and "McNamara's Band."
