Washington admitted to chopping down the cherry tree
He got grounded for a month
Couldn't play Xbox games
Then he fucking slayed the dragon
Became our very first president
His face is on the quarter
The moral of the story is:
Be true to yourself
Be true to yourself
Let your freak flag fly
Get it up in the sky higher, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freak flag fly
I never tried to solve Sudoku
But I heard that it can be
Really freaking hard
You gotta put the numbers
In a certain order
I can't even get started
The moral of the story is:
Be true to yourself
Be true to yourself
Let your freak flag fly
Get it up in the sky higher, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freak flag fly
And if they threaten you with the guillotine
It just means that you gotta use laser beams
Fly up to the moon on a tricycle
We're gonna read about you in school
Be true to yourself
Be true to yourself
Let your freak flag fly
Get it up in the sky higher, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freak flag fly
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freak flag fly higher

The moral of the story is:
Be true to yourself
Be true to yourself
Let your freaky flag fly
Get it up in the sky higher, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freaky flag fly
And if people don't like your scene at all
It just means that you gotta get off-the-wall
Do a weird maneuver on their collective ass
Before you know it, you'll be at the head of ??? class
Be true to yourself
Be true to yourself
Let your freaky flag fly
Get it up in the sky higher, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freaky flag fly
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let your freaky flag fly higher
