How y'all doing there, folks?

My name is aberdeen washington

And I'm a proud american and a terrorist fighter

That's right

Hey get me another beer bitch

Now when the day bin laden comes to town

I'm a drop a deuce wipe it up with his towel

Mow my lawn, sit on the couch, I'm a watch some football

I pray to the lord the cowboys win

And beat the hell out of those damn redskins

Call up the boys, get drunk as shit

Goddamn right, I'm american

That's right, I'm american

Got a picture of reagan above my fire

Next to the deer I shot with my rifle

N.r.a.? Hell yeah, I support 'em

No pro-choice, no abortion

Mexicans? Send 'em back over the border

Right on home to samoa, wherever they come from

Taking our jobs, eating out hamburgers, taking our jobs

They're taking our jobs, I see 'em in the fields I'm taking their heads off

I hate my job and I hate my boss

But I love my country and I pray to god that the cowboys win

Fuck yeah romo

That the cowboys win

That's right, that's right, that's right, come on

Everybody just clap your hands

If you love our country, if you love our land

That's right

And if you're not clapping your hands

You're a terrorist and you eat sand, sandwiches

The day bin laden comes to town

I'm a drop a deuce wipe my poop with his towel

Mow my lawn, sit on the couch, and I'm a watch some football

And I pray to the lord the cowboys win

And beat the hell out of those damn redskins

Call up the boys, get drunk as shit

Goddamn right, I'm american

I'm ameri-fuckin'-can

Now john mccain and sarah palin I know you lost out there and it was a tough one

But you're still two mavericks in my book, don't worry about it

Now listen palin, I heard you like beer

Me too and I don't have a six pack, but I got a beer bong in my pants

What do you say we go get shitfaced in a helicopter and kill a moose

America, the chosen

Guns, explosions

Mcdonalds, bowling

You don't like it, we exploit ya

Pop a pill, get a boner

Hell yeah tony romo

Man that guy's so damn cute I want to sack his boner and ride him brokeback all the way to wyoming

... So homo... syke

Hey I said no homo

Hey... Fuck terrorists

I don't mean like, I don't want to fuck a terrorist

Guys I'm kidding

I like romo, I don't like romo

I said fuck terrorists not I want to fuck a terrorist

You wouldn't, if you caught bin laden you wouldn't give him one in the butt?

For america?

If ya said "no homo" right after ya did it?

It doesn't count if it's terrorists

Hey little aberdeen, come in here

Yeah

Hey come sing the family national anthem, come on

Usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, hey, hey

Usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, usa, hey, hey

That's right, I'm an american citizen

Aberdeen washington, this is my country

And just because barack obama won the presidential election

Does not mean that half the country doesn't feel the same way I do

And I came to america

And I live in america

Come on

And I live in america

I do too, dad

Let me get 'em

And I live in america

And I live in ameri...

Shut up, little aberdeen shut the fuck up

My bad

Let me tell 'em

That's right

I'm american
