Yes We Can and Yes We Did! -Inauguration Excitement!
Now's the time for all good men
to get together with one another.
We got to iron out our problems
and iron out our quarrels
and try to live as brothers.
And try to find a piece of land
without stepping on one another.
And do respect the women of the world.
Remember you all have mothers.
We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.

I know we can make it.
I know darn well we can work it out.
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna get together we can work it out.

And we gotta take care of all the children,
the little children of the world.
'cause they're our strongest hope for the future,
the little bitty boys and girls.

We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.
I know we can make it.
I know darn well we can work it out.
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can.

1. That is so FUCKING COOL! I'd forgotten how appropriate the lyrics are!
I loved that song back in the '70s but had forgotten
that it really was about unity and coming together.

God bless all the Pointer Sisters (I can't recall
which one has passed on) -- I'm glad they're getting
this renewed exposure.

2. Pepsi has a great commercial that has been playing all day today
on MSNBC using their song! I forgot about it myself. Now it's added to the ipod!

6. I love the Pointer Sisters. Had the pleasure of meeting them
when they did a show at the station I was working at. Even have a napkin with Bonnie's lipstick print on it somewhere around this house. The song is perfect for the times.
