[Verse 1:]
I never had a job on Wall Street
Never was a man of means
There's nothing social about social security
Never found no pork in my beans
I always did what my mama told me
Do so good and pay the band
I always did what my mama told me
But I never did vote republican
I never did vote republican

[Chorus:]
And the stripes keep on waving
And the stars always shine
And it smells just like freedom
In this land I call mine[x2]

[Verse 2:]
I never never started nothing
I never never never ran
I never fought or hurt nobody
Nobody I was bigger than
I always did what my mama told me
Do so good and pay that band
I always did what my mama told me
But I never did vote republican
I never did vote republican
[Chorus]
