Lyrics to Preamble :
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 keeping people free.
The U.S.A. was just starting 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 . . .
