Lyrics
- Thumbs up, America
We’re still a mighty team
Thumbs up, America
Let’s wave the star spangled dream
Thumbs up, America
We’ve got the strength, the will
Thumbs up, America
The shining city on the hill
We can face what must be faced
With each other to lean upon
Whatever comes up, America
Let’s bring the drums up, America
Because it’s thumbs up, America
From now on - Thumbs up, America
We’ve only just begun
Thumbs up, America
We’re still the real number one
Can do, America
Whatever the faith may ask
Come through, America
You’re more than equal to the task
Coast to coast and hand in hand
We’re the land heaven smiled upon
Whatever comes up, America
Let’s bring the drums up, America
Because it’s thumbs up, America
From now on
