Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, that red, white, and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief,"

I ain't no senator's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one.

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings

Before you are six, or seven, or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught.
