Lyrics
(One, two, three, four)
Our stepmom, we did everything to hate her
She took us down to the edge of Decatur
We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her
Down to the river where they caught a wild alligator
Sangamon River, it overflowed
It caused a mudslide on the banks of the operator
Civil war skeletons in their graves
They came up clapping in the spirit of the aviator
The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain
We go riding on the abolition grain train
Stephen A. Douglas was a great debater
But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator
Chickenmobile with your rooster tail
I had my fill, and I know how bad it feels
Stay awake and watch for the data
No small caterpillar, go congratulate her
Denominator (go Decatur)
Go Decatur (it's the great I am)
Abominate her (go Decatur)
Why did we hate her? (it's the great I am)
Denominator (go Decatur)
Anticipate her (it's the great I am)
Appreciate her (appreciate her)
Stand up and thank her
Stand up and thank her (it's the great I am)
Stand up and thank her (it's the great I am)
Stand up and thank her (it's the great I am)
Stand up and thank her
