In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a list of principles
For keepin' people free.
“The Preamble”
The U.S.A. was just startin' out.
A whole brand-new country.
And so our people spelled it out
The things that we should be.
In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers all sat down
And wrote a list of principles
That's known the world around.
