One thing you will discover
When you get next to one another
Is everybody needs some elbow room, elbow room.
“Elbow Room”
It's nice when you're kinda cozy, but
Not when you're tangled nose to nosey, oh,
Everybody needs some elbow, needs a little elbow room.
That's how it was in the early days of the U.S.A.
The people kept a comin' to settle though
The east was the only place there was to go.
The president was Thomas Jefferson.
He made a deal with Napoleon.
How'd you like to sell a mile or two, (or three or a hundred or a thousand?)
Oh, elbow room, elbow room,
Got to, got to get us some elbow room.
It's the west or bust,
In God we trust.
There's a new land out there...
Louis and Clark volunteered to go,
Good bye, good luck, wear your overcoat!
They prepared for good times and for bad (and for bad),
They hired Sacajawea to be their guide.
She led them all across the countryside.
