Electricity, yeah you can all thank me
Took some lightning, a kite, and a fat brass key
And they?re putting up street lights in gay Paris
You?re welcome from our young nation
I?m the only American the French wanna see
They call me a genius, I can?t disagree
They have guns, they have funds, they can set us free
Invest in my reputation
And do you know who the fuck I am?
Yeah do you know who the fuck I am?
Do you know who the fuck I am?
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin fucking Franklin
verse 2
I said early to bed, bitches, early to rise
They make a man healthy, wealthy and wise
Soldiers are fighting for freedom, they have no supplies
So diplomacy happens at night
John Adams debates at the gates of Versailles
Ay, he whines and parades and awaits a reply
As I stay up late with a succulent breast or a thigh
Alright, diplomacy happens at night
And do you know who the fuck I am?
Yeah do you know who the fuck I am?
Do you know who the fuck I am?
I am seventy-six-and-I?ll-still-kick-your-ass fucking Franklin
Bridge
One pain that lingers, the hitch in my stride
Is my son back at home who I could not guide
Who sits alone in a prison cell on the wrong side
Stands against our young nation
verse 3
So I play my ambassador part with pride
I am known in the world, and the world is wide
To my children, my sins may be magnified
But I?d do it all again, no hesitation
And do you know who the fuck I am?
Yeah do you know who the fuck I am?
Do you know who the fuck I am?
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing Benjamin fucking Franklin
Outro
(Do you know who the fuck I am?) who the fuck I am?
(Do you know who the fuck I am?) who the fuck I am?
(Do you know who the fuck I am?)
I am Poor-Richard's-Almanack-writing, polymath, bifocal-wearing
Hardened glass harmonica-playing Benjamin fucking Franklin
