Remember a time, remember a place
Where people were nice, not just to your face
Where hatred was rare, and so were the steaks
Soar with the eagles in the mountain peaks
Set sail aboard my friendship to the promise land
I can see it just around the bend

Common courtesy
Drying up the tears of every baby
Common courtesy, yeah
Curing all cases of dogs with rabies
Pearls of wisdom from dirty clams, yeah
Spreading joy like Christmas hams, yeah

Remember a smile, remember a grin
Get up off your knees and smack the balls off your chin
It's an odyssey, Poseidon's magic seas
An epic quest to your treasure of dreams
I can make the bad times vanish, there's magic in these hands
Maybe I'm a genie, rub my lamp

Common courtesy
Drying up the tears of every baby
Common courtesy, yeah
Curing all cases of dogs with rabies
Pearls of wisdom from dirty clams, yeah
Spreading joy like Christmas hams, yeah
Common courtesy, making history

You could be smaller, you could be bigger
You could be a cracker or you could be an Asian
Let's all stand hand in hand like a rubber band
Holding the red, white, and blue ponytail of this great nation

Everybody now!

Common courtesy
Drying up the tears of every baby
Common courtesy, yeah
Curing all cases of dogs with rabies
Pearls of wisdom from dirty clams, yeah
Spreading joy like Christmas hams, yeah
Common courtesy, making history
Common courtesy, making history
