Gonna have an anniversary
Gonna be a bicentennial
Hey, America´s having a birthday
Be two-hundred years old
Isn´t that wonderful?
You know it certainly is

Goodness, what a wonderful country
Wow, what a nifty history
Gee, it´s a powerful nation
Been two-hundred years old
Isn´t that wonderful?
You know it certainly is

I relived my country´s history
In a class called social studies
I learned to pledge allegiance
To sing my national anthem
"My country, Tis of Thee"

You know we have our heroes
I mean Washington and Lincoln
Including Audie Murphy
Including old Jack Ruby
Wasn´t Jack wonderful?
Oh, you know he certainly was

Let´s hear it for Ohio
And the rippling red-wood forests
The Sawmill River Parkway
Oklahoma´s strange panhandle
Aren´t they all wonderful?

Gonna have an anniversary
Gonna be a bicentennial
Hey, America´s having a birthday
Be two-hundred years old
Isn´t that wonderful?
You know it certainly is
