rate me<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>
<br>
