Ben Franklin's Song |
Electricity! |
Yeah, you can all thank me |
Took some lightning, a kite, and a fat brass key |
And they’re putting up streetlights in Gay Paris |
You’re welcome from our young nation |
I’m the only American the French wanna see |
They call me a genius, I can’t disagree |
They have guns, they have funds |
They can set us free |
Invest in my reputation |
And do you know who the fuck I am? |
Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am? |
Do you know who the fuck I am? |
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin Fuckin' Franklin |
I said, early to bed, bitches, early to rise |
They make a man healthy, wealthy, and wise |
Soldiers are fighting for freedom, they have no supplies |
So diplomacy happens at night |
John Adams debates at the gates of Versailles |
He whines and parades and awaits a reply |
As I stay up late with a succulent breast or a thigh |
Alright, diplomacy happens at night |
And do you know who the fuck I am? |
Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am? |
Do you know who the fuck I am? |
I am 76-and-I'll-Still-Kick-Your-Ass Fuckin' Franklin |
One pain that lingers, the hitch in my stride |
Is my son back at home who I could not guide |
Who sits all alone in a prison cell on the wrong side |
Stands against our young nation |
So I play my ambassador part with pride |
I am known in the world, and the world is wide |
To my children, my sins may be magnified, but I’d |
Do it all again, no hesitation |
And do you know who the fuck I am? |
Yeah, do you know who the fuck I am? |
Do you know who the fuck I am? |
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin Fuckin' Franklin |
(Do you know who the fuck I am?) Who the fuck I am? |
(Do you know who the fuck I am?) Who the fuck I am? |
(Do you know who the fuck I am?) |
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing |
Polymath, bifocal-wearing |
Hardened glass-harmonica-playing |
Benjamin Fuckin' Franklin |
