Lyrics:
First thing’s fist, down in Jamestown,
Settle all the land that I see around
No proclamation stopping me,
I’m a-headed west, I don’t care about ‘63
You should love a mountain man like me,
Settling in disputed territory
Louisiana’s been home to me,
Since Napoleon sold it to us for like free,
Starting off in Missouri, Independence,
Go to Oregon like I got no sense
Talk-about my family in past tense,
Because they all died but that’s just the expense,
Manifest Destiny,
Stretch from shore to shore,
We got so much land,
From france and Mexico,
Sorry Indians
But you got to go,
We won’t stop til we hit the coast.
I say is gold is there waiting, so start excavating,
In ’49, plenty, by ’50 it’s fading,
And look at the Texans, they’re no longer Mexican
After Santa Anna they’re ripe for annexing
But Mexico wants it back, Rio Grand they’ll attack,
But we got destiny that says that their cause is whack
So we push ‘em back to Chapultepec,
And California’s free to be joining our stack,
Now tell me, who that, who that? That do that, do that
Be imperializing, I thought you knew that, knew that,
HE be the P-O-L-K winning Mexico,
We make Gadsen Purchase for 10 mil(lion) more
Manifest Destiny,
Stretch from shore to shore,
We got so much land,
From france and Mexico,
Sorry Indians
But you got to go,
We won’t stop
til we hit the coast.Go West, Young Men,
And grow up with the country
Homestead the land,
It’s called Manifest Destiny
Keep on settling land,
While we send ships all the way to Japan
Let’s add state from out west,
Which will result in our ultimate test!
