The Preamble lyrics

Hey, do you know about the U.S.A.?

Do you know about the government?

Can you tell me about the Constitution?

Hey, learn about the U.S.A.

In 1787 I'm told

Our Founding Fathers did agree

To write a list of principles

For keepin' people free

The U.S.A. 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 U.S.A. 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
