Footsteps (4 times)

Footsteps of a family
An American family
Surefooted at the
White House
There in Washington, D.C.

Footsteps of a family
The very first family
Lock step to make
World history

Barack, Michelle, Malia, Sasha

Footsteps
Footsteps (And ev’ry mornin’ they get up)
Footsteps
Footsteps (To pooper scoop a brand new playful pup)
Footsteps
Footsteps (Good Lord change is ev’rywhere)
Footsteps
Footsteps (Good God it’s in the very air)

Maybe they’ll have a
Bouncing baby boy
Sounds crazy
But the country’d
Jump for joy

The first lady’s
Smile no terrorist
Can destroy
Then out of work people
The President will
Employ . . .
The whole hoi polloi

Don’t need no black ghetto
Or no brown barrio
No damn red reservation
We’re a red white and blue
Color coordination

End all that mid
East war
Oil ain’t worth
Fightin’ o’er
Let’s save America
That’s why I voted for
Obama

Uhh!

Footsteps
Footsteps (By dreams from his Kenyan father)
Footsteps
Footsteps (Barack’s bootstraps became a rope)
Footsteps
Footsteps (He followed his mother’s path on a
Footsteps shoestring)
Footsteps (By the audacity of hope)

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la . . .
Barack, Michelle, Malia, Sasha

Footsteps
Footsteps (I smelled fried chicken from the Lincoln
Footsteps bedroom)
Footsteps (Then I spied a black woman without a mop
Footsteps and broom)
Footsteps (I couldn’t believe my eyes at what I saw)
Footsteps
Footsteps (It was the Commander-in-Chief’s beloved
          Mom-in-law)

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la . . .
