Decatur, Or, Round of Applause for Your Stepmother!

Sangamon River it overflowed
Steven A. Douglas was a great debater
It's the great I am

Stand up and thank her
We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her
Stay awake and watch for the data
It's the great I am
But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator
Down to the river where they caught a wild alligator
It caused a mudslide on the banks of the operator
It's the great I am

They came up clapping in the spirit of the aviator
I had my fill and I know how bad it feels
Stand up and thank her
Appreciates her, appreciate her

The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain
Stand up and thank her
Denominator, go Decatur, anticipate her
Stand up and thank her

It's the great I am
It's the great I am

Denominator, go Decatur, go Decatur
Chicken mobile with your rooster tail
No small caterpillar, go congratulate her
Civil war skeletons in their graves
We go riding on the abolition grain train
Abominate her, go Decatur, why did we hate her?

It's the great I am
