Lyrics:
Chorus
No kings here!
Not in my America!
No kings here!
Got no need for royalty
Not in my USA!
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy –
No kings here!
No kings here!
Not in my America!
No kings here!
Got no need for royalty
Not in my USA!
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy –
No kings here!
George Washington was president,
Not just once, but twice.
And when they offered him a crown
He gave them this advice
Chorus
When Betsy Ross sewed up the flag,
She found one thing was true.
There was no room for purple
It was all red, white and blue.
Chorus
We had a king once years ago
Back in days of yore.
He showed us what kings were like
So we showed him the door
Chorus
