I have been blogging about matters of seriousness lately as I worked through my reactions to inappropriate associations. I decided that I wanted to find something lighthearted, so looked to my childhood for something that brought me joy.

I found it.

Schoolhouse Rock.

If you are of a certain age (as I am) you did not make it through Saturday morning cartoons without committing a dozen of the Schoolhouse Rock cartoons to memory.

But more than that, if you are of a certain age (as I am), you did not make it though an American civics class test without looking up and watching 20+ students simultaneously sing a few words of this song, then scribble down the words to answer the test question “What, exactly, does the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America say?”

Schoolhouse Rock men and women, wherever you are now, I salute you.

via the Schoolhouse Rock website, where I found a full transcript on the wild off-chance that enough time might have passed for you to forget the words. As if.

I also found out that wikipedia, another of my other loves, gives us all the lyrics too.
