"Stay Down Here Where You Belong" is a pacifist novelty song written by Irving Berlin in 1914, presumably in opposition to the Great War.

Musicologist Charles Hamm compared the song's topical nature to Irving Berlin's "They're on Their Way to Mexico",[3] performed in 1914 by the Heidelberg Quintet.

Marx later wrote, "Berlin isn't a large man, and as the song progressed, he seemed to grow even tinier.

[7][8][9] Similarly, Berlin stated, "Every time I see [Groucho], I stick my hand in my pocket and ask him, 'How much if you don't sing it?

'"[10] Marx also performed the song on The Dick Cavett Show in 1971,[11] which appears on his 1972 concert album, An Evening with Groucho.
