1
Our stepmom, we did everything to hate her
2
She took us down to the edge of Decatur
3
We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her
4
Down to the river where they caught a wild alligator
5
Sangamon River, it overflowed
6
It caused a mudslide on the banks of the operator
7
Civil War skeletons in their graves
8
They came up clapping in the spirit of the aviator
9
The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain
10
We go riding on the abolition grain train
11
Steven A. Douglas was a great debater
12
But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator
13
Chickenmobile with your rooster tail
14
I had my fill and I know how bad it feels
15
Stay awake and watch for the data
16
No small caterpillar, go congratulate her
17
Denominator, go Decatur, go Decatur
18
It's the great I Am
19
Abominate her, go Decatur, why did we hate her?
20
It's the great I Am
21
Denominator, go Decatur, anticipate her
22
It's the great I Am
23
Appreciate her, appreciate her

Stand up and thank her
25
Stand up and thank her
26
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
31
Stand up and thank her
