Common courtesy Drying up the tears of every baby Common courtesy, yeah Curing all cases of dogs with rabies Pearls of wisdom from dirty clams, yeah Spreading joy like Christmas hams, yeah
Remember a smile, remember a grin Get up off your knees and smack the balls off your chin It's an odyssey, Poseidon's magic seas An epic quest to your treasure of dreams I can make the bad times vanish, there's magic in these hands Maybe I'm a genie, rub my lamp

You could be smaller, you could be bigger You could be a cracker or you could be an Asian Let's all stand hand in hand like a rubber band Holding the red, white, and blue ponytail of this great nation
Everybody now!
