Tom Paxton - NO KINGS HERE Lyrics

Tom Paxton Lyrics

"NO KINGS HERE"

No kings here!
Not in my America!
No kings here!
Not in my USA!
Got no need for royalty
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

No kings here!
Not in my America!
No kings here!
Not in my USA!
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No kings here!

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

No kings here!
Not in my America!
No kings here!
Not in my USA!
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No kings here!

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

No kings here!
Not in my America!
No kings here!
Not in my USA!
Got no need for royalty
We believe in loyalty
To what we call democracy
No kings here!
