Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes Staring at the natural tan of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands Seventeen company men Out of which only twelve will make it back again Seargeant sent a letter to five Military wiveshis tears drip down to ten little eye Cheer them on to their rivals Cause America canand America can t say no And America doesif America says it s so It s so And the anchorperson on TV goes

La de da de da Fifteen celebrity mimes Leaving their fifteen sorted wretched checkered lives Will they find the solution in time Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds? Eighteen academy chairs Out of which only seven really even care Doling out a garment to five Celebrity mimesthey re humbly taken by surprise Cheer them on to their rivals Cause America canand America can t say no And America doesif America says it s so It s so And the anchorperson on TV goes

La de da de da de-dadedade-da La de da de da de-dadedade-da Fourteen cannibal kings Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring Fifteen celebrity mimes Served on a leafy bed th sixteen military wives Cheer them on to their rivals Cause America canand America can t say no And America doesif America says it s so It s so And the anchorperson on TV goes

La de da de da de-dadedade-da La de da de da de-dadedade-da
