<br>

[BALLADEER]<br>

Czolgosz,<br>

Working man,<br>

Born in the middle of Michigan,<br>

Woke with a thought <br>

And away he ran<br>

To the Pan-American Exposition<br>

In Buffalo,<br>

In Buffalo.<br>

<br>

Saw of a sudden<br>

How things were run,<br>

Said, "Time's a-wasting<br>

It's nineteen-one. <br>

Some men have everything<br>

And some have none,<br>

So rise and shine-<br>

In the U.S.A.<br>

You can work your way<br>

To the head of the line!"<br>

<br>

[ATTENDANT]<br>

Single line, ladies and gentlemen. Line forms here<br>

to meet the President of the United States. Single<br>

line to shake hands with President William McKinley.<br>

<br>

[BALLADEER]<br>

Czolgosz,<br>

Quiet man,<br>

Worked out a quiet<br>

And simple plan,<br>

Strolled of a morning<br>

All spick and span,<br>

To the Temple Of Music<br>

By the Tower Of Light<br>

At the Pan-American Exposition <br>

In Buffalo,<br>

In Buffalo.<br>

<br>

Saw Bill McKinley there<br>

In the sun.<br>

Heard Bill McKinley say,<br>

"Folks, have fun!<br>

Some men have everything <br>

And some have none,<br>

But that's just fine:<br>

in the U.S.A.<br>

You can work your way <br>

To the head of the line!"<br>

<br>

[CROWD]<br>

Big Bill-!<br>

<br>

[BALLADEER]<br>

-Gave 'em a thrill.<br>

<br>

[CROWD]<br>

Big Bill-!<br>

<br>

[BALLADEER]<br>

-Sold 'em a bill.<br>

<br>

[CROWD]<br>

Big Bill-!<br>

<br>

[BALLADEER]<br>

-Who'd want to kill<br>

A man of good will<br>

Like-?<br>

<br>

[CROWD]<br>

Big Bill!<br>

<br>

[FAIRGOER #1]<br>

Doesn't the President look Marvelous?<br>

So round and prosperous!<br>

<br>

[FAIRGOER #2]<br>

Do you know what his favorite dish is?<br>

It was in the paer. Beef.<br>

<br>

[FAIRGOER #3]<br>

I'm told that in his spare time he enjoys<br>

collecting coins!<br>

<br>

[BALLADEER]<br>

Czolgosz,<br>

Angry man,<br>

Said, "I will do what<br>

A poor man can.<br>

Yes, and there's nowhere<br>

More fitting than<br>

In the Temple Of Music<br>

By the Tower Of Light<br>

Between the Fountain Of Abundance<br>

And the Court of Lilies<br>

At the great Pan-American Exposition<br>

In Buffalo,<br>

In Buffalo.<br>

<br>

Wrapped him a handkerchief<br>

"round his gun,<br>

Said, "Nothin' wrong about<br>

What I done.<br>

Some men have everything <br>

And some have none-<br>

That's by design.<br>

The idea wasn't mine alone,<br>

But mine, <br>

And that's the sign:<br>

<br>

In the U.S.A.<br>

You can have your say,<br>

You can set you goals<br>

And seize the day,<br>

You've been given the freedom<br>

To work your way<br>

To the head of the line-<br>

To the head of the line!"<br>
