Our step mom 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
Sang-a-man River it overflowed
It caused a mudslide on 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!
Denominate her! Go Decatur!
Go Decatur! It's the great I Am.
Abominator! Why did we hate her?
Go Decatur! It's the great I Am.
Denominate her! Go Decatur!
Go Decatur! It's the great I Am.
Appreciate her! Stand up and thank her!
Stand up and thank her! It's the great I Am.
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
Sang-a-man River it overflowed
It caused a mudslide on 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!
Denominate her! Go Decatur!
Go Decatur! It's the great I Am.
Abominator! Why did we hate her?
Go Decatur! It's the great I Am.
Denominate her! Go Decatur!
Go Decatur! It's the great I Am.
Appreciate her! Stand up and thank her!
Stand up and thank her! It's the great I Am.
