Decatur, Or, Round Of Applause For Your Stepmother! Lyrics - Illinoise - Sufjan Stevens

1, 2, 3, 4 

Our stepmom, we did everything to hate her 

She took us down to the edge of Decatur 

We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her 

Down to the river where they caught a wild alligator 

Sangamon River, it overflowed 

It caused a mudslide on the banks of the operator 

Civil War skeletons in their graves 

They came up clapping in the spirit of the aviator

The sound of the engines and the smell of the grain 

We go riding on the abolition grain train 

Stephen A. Douglas was a great debater 

But Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator 

Chickenmobile with your rooster tail 

I had my fill, and I know how bad it feels 

Stay awake and watch for the data 

No small caterpillar, go congratulate her 

Denominator, go Decatur, go Decatur 

It's the great I am 

Abominate her, go Decatur, why did we hate her? 

It's the great I am 

Denominator, go Decatur, anticipate her 

It's the great I am 

Appreciate her, appreciate her 

Stand up and thank her

Stand up and thank her 

It's the great I am 

Stand up and thank her 

It's the great I am 

Stand up and thank her 

It's the great I am 

Stand up and thank her
