Hey, do you know about the U.S.A.?
7
Do you know about the government?
8
Can you tell me about the Constitution?
9
Hey, learn about the U.S.A.
10
In 1787 I'm told
11
Our founding fathers did agree
12
To write a list of principles
13
For keepin' people free.
14
The U.S.A. was just startin' out.
15
A whole brand-new country.
16
And so our people spelled it out
17
The things that we should be.
18
And they put those principles down on
19
paper and called it the Constitution, and
20
it's been helping us run our country ever
21
since then. The first part of the
22
Constitution is called the preamble and tells
23
what those founding fathers set out to do.
24
We the people
25
In order to form a more perfect union,
26
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
27
Provide for the common defense,
28
Promote the general welfare and
29
Secure the blessings of liberty
30
To ourselves and our posterity
31
Do ordain and establish this Constitution
32
for the United States of America.
33
in 1787 I'm told
34
our founding fathers all sat down
35
And wrote a list of principles
36
That's known the world around.
37
The U.S.A. was just starting out
38
A whole brand-new country.
39
And so our people spelled it out
40
They wanted a land of liberty.
41
And the Preamble goes like this:
42
We the people
43
In order to form a more perfect union,
44
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
45
Provide for the common defense,
46
Promote the general welfare and
47
Secure the blessings of liberty
48
To ourselves and our posterity,
49
Do ordain and establish this Constitution
50
for the United States of America.
51
For the United States of America ...
