Hey, do you know about the USA?
Do you know about the government?
Can you tell me about the Constitution?
Hey, learn about the USA
In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a list of principles
For keepin' people free
The USA was just startin' out
A whole brand-new country
And so our people spelled it out
The things that we should be
And they put those principles down on
paper and called it the Constitution, and
it's been helping us run our country ever
since then The first part of the
Constitution is called the preamble and tells
what those founding fathers set out to do
We the people
In order to form a more perfect union,
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
Provide for the common defense,
Promote the general welfare and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity
Do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America
in 1787 I'm told
our founding fathers all sat down
And wrote a list of principles
That's known the world around
The USA was just starting out
A whole brand-new country
And so our people spelled it out
They wanted a land of liberty
And the Preamble goes like this:
We the people
In order to form a more perfect union,
Establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,
Provide for the common defense,
Promote the general welfare and
Secure the blessings of liberty
To ourselves and our posterity,
Do ordain and establish this Constitution
for the United States of America
For the United States of America
