It's a masterpiece, I say! They will cheer every word, every letter Jefferson: I wish I felt that way Franklin: I believe I can put it better Now then attend, as friend to friend On our Declaration Committee For us I see immortality All: In Philadelphia City Franklin: A farmer, a lawyer, and a sage A bit gouty in the leg You know it's quite bizarre To think that here we are Playing midwives to an egg
All: We're waiting for the chirp, chirp, chirp Of an eaglet being born We're waiting for the chirp, chirp, chirp On this humid Monday morning in this Congressional incubator Franklin: God knows the temperature's hot enough To hatch a stone, let alone an egg All: We're waiting for the scratch, scratch, scratch Of that tiny little fellow Waiting for the egg to hatch On this humid Monday morning in this Congressional incubator Adams: God knows the temperature's hot enough To hatch a stone Jefferson: But will it hatch an egg? Adams: The eagle's going to crack the shell Of the egg that England laid All: Yes, so we can tell, tell, tell On this humid Monday morning in this Congressional incubator Franklin: And as just as Tom here has written Though the egg may belong to Great Britain, The eagle inside belongs to us! All: And as just as Tom here has written We say to hell with Great Britain! The eagle inside belongs to us!
