Decatur, Or, Round Of Applause For Your Stepmother!

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 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 Chicken mobile 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 Appreciates 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
