(Good afternoon, it's a)
(Real pleasure to be here to me at)
(The beautiful Pismo Beach at the)
(First non-human be in)
(I'd like to start off our set with a little tune)
(Ok, ok, ok, quiet down there)
(We'd like to start off our set with a tune)
(Called "America My Home")
(Ready, Peter?)
(Yeah)
(Ok, here we go)
American history filled with blood
Filled with courage, hate, and love
Filled with laughter and filled with pain
Filled with mistakes, losses, and gains
Oh, there is no can't in American
We've done it before, we can do it again
Two-hundred years are now past and gone
America, my home
Oh, America my home
American history filled with Finns
Basques, Portuguese and Italians
English, Scots, and Japanese
Romanians, Spaniards, Welsh, and Swedes
Norwegians, Greeks, Germans, and Czechs
French Canadians, Danes, and Swiss
Brazilians, Turks, Cubans, Chinese
Austrians, Persians, Poles, and Siamese
Egyptians, Moors, and Ethiopians
Arabs, Kiwis, and Nigerians
Filipinos, Dutch, Irish, and Russian
Sudanese, Belgians, Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans
There is no can't in American
We've done it before, we can do it again
Two-hundred years, now past and gone
America, my home
Oh, America my home
Play it once for the parakeets, Peter
ย
American history filled with Navajo
Flathead, Yakima, and Arapaho
Ottaโ, Witโ, Maโnee
Cheyenne, Kiowa, Comanche
W'bego, Pima, Nez Perce, Neuโba
Cree, Chinook, and Maricopa
(Easy out there, I think there's a stampede)
Shoshone, Sioux, and Cherokee
Chippewa, Creek, Crow, and Hopi
Seminole, Iroquois, and Mahican
Osage, Miami, Kickapoo and Missions
Apache, Yatasi, and Choctaw
Blackfeet, Mohawk, and Achuโawi
And there is no can't in American
We've done it before, we can do it again
Two-hundred years, now past and gone
America, home
America my home
America my home
America my home
(Way down in the pulse)
(C'mon, yeah)
American history filled with apple pie
Chicken soup and French fries
Weekend trips and union dues
Color TV and pointed shoes
Banana splits and whipping cream
Rollneck sweaters and pinball machines
Espionage and painted lips
Cops and robbers and rocket ships
Tuna casserole and egg foo young
Candy apples and bubble gum
Frisbees, roller skates, and hula hoops
Ba-Barbie dolls and Betty Boop
And there is no can't in American
We've done it before, we can do it again
Oh, two-hundred years, now past and gone
Oh, America, my home
Oh, America my home
(Play 'em one, Peter)
ย
American history filled with buffalo
Manatee, whales, rattlesnakes, and toads
Mother turtles, gators, armadillos, and deers
Gila monsters, sheep, and grizzly bears
Porcupine, moles, dolphins, and sheep
Racoons, fox, mudpuppies, and minx
Grackles, condors, opossums, and bats
Coyotes, turkeys, frogs, and muskrats
Lynx, crocodile, moose, and beaver
Egret, pelicans, seals, and spiders
Wolf, skank, liโs, donks, and eagles
Pru-day shark, sea otters, and weegulls
There is no can't in American
We've done it before and we can do it again
Oh, two-hundred years, now past and gone
America, my home
Oh, America my home
Oh, America my home
Ah, America my home
Ah, America my home
Ah, America my home
(Thank you, thank you very much)
(Thank you)
(Thank you very much)
(We'll be back later)
(Thank you)
(We're gonna take a little break now)
(Those wolves are creepy)
