Om manme padme om
Om manme padme om

Om manme padme om

[WOOF]
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!

[WOOF, spoken]
Folding the flag means taking care of the nation
Folding the flag is putting it to bed for the night
I'm lost in the folds of the flag
Oh, I'm falling through a hole in the flag
Help!

[BERGER, spoken]
It is a be-u-tiful day in Selma, Alabama, y'all!

[BERGER]
Don't put it down
Best one around

[WOOF, STEVE]
Best one around!

[BERGER]
Crazy for the red, blue, and white
Crazy for the red, blue, and white

[WOOF, STEVE]
Crazy for the red, blue, and white
Crazy for the red, blue, and white

[BERGER]
You look at me
What do you see?

[WOOF, STEVE]
What do you see?

[BERGER]
Crazy for the white, red, and blue
Crazy for the white, red, and blue

[WOOF, STEVE]
Crazy for the white, red, and blue
Crazy for the white, red, and blue

[BERGER]
Cause I look different
You think I'm subversive?

[WOOF, STEVE]
You think I'm subversive?

[BERGER]
Crazy for the blue, white, and red
Crazy for the blue, white, and red

[WOOF, STEVE]
Crazy for the blue, white, and red
Crazy for the blue, white, and red

[BERGER, WOOF, STEVE]
My heart beats true
For the red white and blue

[BERGER]
Crazy for the blue, white, and red
Crazy for the blue, white, and red

[WOOF, STEVE]
Crazy for the blue, white, and red
Crazy for the blue, white, and red

[BERGER, WOOF, STEVE]
And yellow fringe
Crazy for the blue, white, red, and yellow
