Lyrics
CHORUS:
Get it up; time to make America a man.
Get it up; ya’ gotta use it or ya lose it, Uncle Sam.
POW-POW-POW BOOM, POW-POW-POW BOOM

“Ain’t nuthin’ ‘bout it’s fair;
the rules are always mine.
Get up out of that chair,
keep your hands right by your side.
I triple-double-dare you
Take one step across that li-ine.”
POW-POW-POW BOOM, POW-POW-POW BOOM

“Well you can make some fun of Jimmy,
But you’re not makin’ fun of Ron.”
If you think that I’ve been fibbin’,
Turn your television on.
Is that Nancy in the kitchen or
Beaver Cleaver’s mo-om?
LeaveItToBeaverTheme
POW-POW-POW BOOM, POW-POW-POW BOOM

Read some saddle-sore epistle
Meant to save the Upper Crust.
It’s soon to be official
When that dust returns to dust.
He bends his Atlas missile
Just to show he’s got some thru-ust.
GetItUpRon a-la-BeachBoys
POW-POW-POW BOOM, POW-POW-POW BOOM

“When I’m lookin’ for an empire
Where the sun will never set.
I’d even like to show you
My rocket-powered jets.”
Expansion of his borders
Is the dream that he we-ets.
CHORUS
