Our step mom we did everything to hate her 

She took us down to the edge of Decatur 

We saw the lion and the kangeroo 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 

Steven 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 caterpiller, 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
