Decatur  Or  Round of Applause for Your Stepmother  - Sufjan Stevens

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
Steven 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
