There's something about America
That makes me shout with joy
There's a land of opportunity
For every girl and boy
There's something about our president
That makes me shout hooray
In America we all might be the president someday

Got a brand new funky, funk, funk, funky, uh, president
Got a brand new funky
"To those leaders around the globe, know that your people
Will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy."
Hey, uh, uh, uh, uh, president
Uh, uh, uh
People, people, we got to get over before we go under
People, people, we got to get over before we go under
Country, do you know just what I meant?
Huh, we just changed
Got a brand new funky president
Stock market going up, jobs going down
And ain't no funky jobs to be found
Taxes keep going up
I changed from a glass, now I drink from a paper cup
Let's get together and raise
Let's get together, get some land
Raise our food like the man
Save our money like the mob
Put up the factory on the job
"Know that America is a friend of each nation and
Every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of
Peace and dignity and we are ready to lead once more."
Hey, get down and praise the Lord
Get sexy, sexy, get funky and dance
Love me, baby, love me nice
Don't make it once, but can you make it twice?
I like it
People, people, we got to get over before we go under
People, people, we got to get over before we go under
People, people, we got to get over before we get under
Country, do you know just what I meant?
Huh, we just changed
Got a brand new funky president
Uh, funky president
Got a brand new funky, funk, funk, funky, uh, president
Got a brand new funky, uh, funk, funk, funky, president
Got a brand new funky
"We cannot help but believe that the old hatred
Shall someday pass, that the lines of pride shall
Soon dissolve, common humanity shall reveal itself."
Turn on your warm water, I know it's tough, uh
Turn on your warm water 'til you get enough, yeah
Hey, give yourself a chance to come through
Tell yourself I can do what you can do
People, people
People, people, do you see what?
People, people, what's going on?
People, people
People, people, we gotta get together
People, people
People, people, we got to get over before we go under
People, people, we got to get over before we go under
Country, don't you know just what I meant?
Huh, we just changed
Got a brand new president
Funk, funk, funky
Funk, funk, funky president
Got a brand new funky
Funk, funk, funky president
"On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear
Unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come
To proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises
The recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have
Strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but in the words
Of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things."
