Bicentennial

Gonna have an anniversary
Gonna be a bicentennial
Hey, Americas having a birthday
Be two-hundred years old
Isn’t that wonderful?
You know it certainly is
Goodness, what a wonderful country
Wow, what a nifty history
Gee, it’s a powerful nation
Been two-hundred years old
Isn’t that wonderful?
You know it certainly is
I relived my country’s history
In a class called social studies
I learned to pledge allegiance
To sing my national anthem
«My country, Tis of Thee»
You know we have our heroes
I mean Washington and Lincoln
Including Audie Murphy
Including old Jack Ruby
Wasn’t Jack wonderful?
Oh, you know he certainly was
Lets hear it for Ohio
And the rippling red-wood forests
The Sawmill River Parkway
Oklahoma’s strange panhandle
Aren’t they all wonderful?
Gonna have an anniversary
Gonna be a bicentennial
Hey, Americas having a birthday
Be two-hundred years old
Isn’t that wonderful?
You know it certainly is
