Schoolhouse Rock! The Preamble

- "Preamble" is a Schoolhouse Rock! segment, featuring a song of the same title written by Lynn Ahrens. The segment debuted in 1975 as part of "America Rock", the third season of the Schoolhouse Rock series. The song was performed by Lynn Ahrens. The lyrics here have a slightly abridged wording of the Preamble to the United States Constitution. The actual document starts, "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union..." [for educational purposes only]
In my Freshman history class, the teacher offered $5 to anyone who could recite the preamble. I was the only one with my hand up. Thanks Schoolhouse Rock! Easiest $5 I ever made.
Yeeee
Similar thing happened to me, except when i said it i had to stop myself from singing it when i said it lol
I remember in 8th Grade.. Which is Part 1 of U.S History- We had to recite the Preamble for a grade.
I studied it with my best friend at the time- Both of us studied it and memorized it in English class, and then in History afterword we both one after another recited it. Good memories lol
English teacher might have helped us too
Middle School same thing for me but the stooges didn’t pay me for memorizing School House Rock 😢
When I listen to this excellent creative work, my heart breaks as it amplifies exactly how far WE THE PEOPLE have fallen - I don't believe it is too late to repent and get the corrupt people out but it will take Divine Intervention for anything to change, as the wickedness of men does not pause nor stop, its an unquenchable void that they can not fill.
It does my heart good to see kids still use this song to memorize the Preamble. I was a kid when this first aired, and every kid in my generation would quietly sing this song to themselves during social studies exams so they could remember the words.
Christopher Laine 😃
This song definitely came in handy when I had to recite the preamble in a public speaking class last year, haha I was the only one who knew it
That's what I do!
that year i was in the 8th grade and everyone got 100 on that test... thanks to this song.. so now when people say i have not read the constitution i can say the preamble and such them up
Christopher Laine
Me too..however many forgot
Beautiful preamble. And we need it now more than ever to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
If you’re like me, and trying to remember the preamble of the constitution, heres where it starts:
1:01
omg thank you
Shadowknight 488 No problem! 😃
I've remembered this tune for decades. I was ready to burst out with it at the National Archives, but the school kids there barely had a clue.
Thank you I need to remember this!!
Lol I’m supposed to have remembered it by tomorrow and um yeah I’m here
I think even the politicians need to listen to this. They’ve forgotten the Preamble.
YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Especially the politicians!!!☮✌🏻
How many politicians excatly. There's a lot
They've forgotten the whole blame Constitution! except the few Amendments that guarantee their own personal rights.
True
whoever sings this has a BEAUTIFUL VOICE i sing along to this every time i hear it
That would be Lynn Ahrens. She also wrote the song.
Two of 'em on the chorus though, right? Any idea who the other is, by any chance?
bruno640 It could be Lynn Ahrens' voice dubbed in as the backing vocal, if that's the correct terminology.
StrivingFor Mindfulness: Thanks! To be honest, I'd never considered that! And, dubbing is the correct term, at least as far as I'm concerned! (As in, "Conjunction-Junction", as well.) As for myself? I can't carry a tune in a bucket...but, I LOVE listening to such! Bet she played the acoustics, as well, then. Either way, or whatever: Thanks for the input!
Lynn Ahrens sang it. The animators put her name on the voting booth too!
She wrote and sang the Noun song. Interjections. Interplanet Janet! Figure 8. Adjectives.
And how many people can still recite the Preamble to this day because of this song? I just wish they'd been around when I had to memorize the Gettysburg Address back in fifth grade!
I learned it from this song and I still recall it. I still remember the "I am Just a Bill" song and a bunch of those they played during Saturday morning cartoons. Setting things like that to music is a great way to remember.
lol Unfortunately, I still recall the Big Mac song too. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
lol I guess Ad execs know music works too.
We never had to memorize the Gettysburg Address...my loss!
I can't even remember the Beavis and Butthead parody of the Gettysburg Address! 😂
I haven’t heard this song since 2004 and I remember every word lol.
This song was very effective. I never would of remembered this with out this song. I was about 4 years old when this was released. They need more shit like this on TV and school
I like to play this video before I go to bed every night. It gives me good dreams. I love this country. And so do so many of my fellow Americans. Patriotism for our country is still strong. We know what is right and what is wrong. The United States of America is the best nation on the planet. God Bless and... USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!!!!
When I listen to this excellent creative work, my heart breaks as it amplifies exactly how far WE THE PEOPLE have fallen - I don't believe it is too late to repent and get the corrupt people out but it will take Divine Intervention for anything to change, as the wickedness of men does not pause nor stop, its an unquenchable void that they can not fill.
TRUMP 24
Grew up in the 70s . Watching cartoons on a Saturday morning was a huge deal. School house rock taught us a lot💜🇺🇸
I can still sing it to this day. And I’m 58 years old. Schoolhouse rock was such a blessing to us in the 70s. I learned so much from it in all sorts of subjects.
You know it is a great learning tool when I can still sing along 50 years later! Well done to the song writers.
Amen! Saw these first-runs on Saturday mornings (I think) in the 70s, somewhere between Scooby-Doo and Superfriends. 🤠🥃🦅
They should return this to television for the younger generation. Because its good for them to learn it.

The show ( _Schoolhouse Rock_ ) is on Disney+.
@@Neville60001Unfortunately...
@@oursmalltribe5189, why is that unfortunate? It's a great place to see it.
Only if they make it more truthful by adding in who "we the people" actually meant. Remember, the people that signed this piece of paper owned slaves.. Which meant that all men were not created equal in their eyes. They wrote a list of principles to keep people free except the slaves.
1:01
we the people in order to form a more perfect union establish justice insure domestic tranquillity provide for the common defense promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this constitution for the united states of america
OMG THANK YOU!! 😭 I was trying to memorize this! This is gonna help me so much thank you!
Sneha Sharma of course just trying to help!!!!!!
And a huge Yee-Haw! I wished Schoolhouse Rock never went off air. These maybe old school style cartoons and songs, but I think most of us who watched the series can still sing-along to some of the songs and remember the lessons. I can't help listening to our youth recently and ask myself, when did history change and what are schools teaching kids today? With the technology of today, all of these videos could easily be modernized, the facts retained in lessons on history, math, science and English, etc., produced and released in an app, as with played regularly on television or an ad. At least if the schools aren't teaching the basics, kids could still learn and just like our childhood, welcome a catchy jingle to remember the study material and do better on an upcoming test, too. Just my opinion and thoughts, but I think our current generation of children might really benefit from attending the 🎶🎸🎶 awesome school of Schoolhouse Rock, too. 🙂
Thank you this helps a lot for my history since we have to memorize this for history and is a major grade for me
Thanks
Not gonna lie, I'm rewatching this because it came up in one of my grad school classes... and I'm still singing along to all the words even though it's been YEARS since I last watched School House Rock.
One of my favorite Schoolhouse Rock songs! I saw this at my school. Brings back memories :)
I love that
It’s crazy when you realize things such as songs stick throughout your lifetime
I used to watch this Saturday mornings and I’m now 54. I hope grad school went well and you’re doing something cool!
This song actually helped me on a Civics test in 9th grade. I just sang the song in my head and wrote the preamble on the test. A+. America Rock is my favorite Schoolhouse Rock, but they are all good. Its like comfort TV now. It reminds me of calmer times.
Okay, how many people here can SAY the Preamble without singing it?
kiya46107 I can!
kiya46107 I memorized the preamble before I even knew this was a thing, I only wish I had had this to help me along 😂
🙋🙋🙋 I remember memorizing it on the streets of D.C.
kiya46107 i can
im trying so hard not to
How many young people were positively impacted by this series. I know I was .
I'm Canadian, and this song helped me memorize the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution.
Unfortunately Disney bought it. So, now it's probably going to go to crap.
This helped me pass in 9th grade civics class.
Me! It brings tears to my eye. God gave us a free land so now we must pray to get it back!
@@oursmalltribe5189, how can it go to crap when it's being shown completely on Disney+ with no alterations?
I'm a child of the 70's and Canadian. Once our neighborhood got cable and we could watch American tv I recall all of the school house rock cartoons. They were perfect for kids.
Put all 36 of them back into schools and the next generation of children of America could save the Union.
I was in grade school in the 70’s, and to this day I can still recite the Preamble by singing this song!
Same here, I was in 4th grade.
Same
We had a pop quiz in my 10th grade American History class in 1982 where we had to write the Preamble. Half the class started humming this song as they worked through the quiz. It was pretty sweet.
Just has to remember to add "of the United States" or you'd lose points.
This song gives me nightmares..
*Shivers from flashbacks of Elementary teacher playing this song on repeat*
How sad that you hate our principles.
i am in 8th grade and i have to memorize this song for a grade and its honestly not that bad and i listened to it about 100 times 😂
Michael Corley he/she just said they were tired of the song
@Nelson's Rudolph yeah the preamble is kinda hypocritical
literally everyday in fourth grade, it kinda makes me uncomfortable
2:27 Take a look at the 8 names you can see clearly in this voting Booth. Tom Yohe was one of the key animators who worked on Schoolhouse Rock. Sal Faillace was the creator of Rocky & Bulwinkle and Peabody's Impobable History. George Newall was one of the composers on Schoolhouse Rock famous for writing such songs as Unpack your Adjectives, This for That, The Energy Blues and one of my personal favorites: I'm gonna send your vote to college. Rad Stone is short for Radford Stone the producer of Schoolhouse Rock. George Cannata was in the animation department for the 1968 Spider-Man series, the 1966 Captain America series and The New Scooby-Doo Movies in 1972. Hal Hoffer was the producer of The Berenstain Bears Easter Surprise. Lynn Ahrens is one of two people on this list still alive. she wrote and performed several songs for Schoolhouse Rock including this one. her other songs include A Noun is a Person, Place or Thing, Interjections, The Tale of Mr. Morton, No More Kings, Elbow Room, Fireworks, The Three-Ring Government, A Victim of Gravity, Interplanet Janet, Do the Circulation, The Body Machine, Telegraph Line, The Weather Show, The Hardware song from Computer Rock, Tax Man Max, which she wrote with her frequent collaborator: Stephen Flaherty, and one of my personal favorites: The Great American Melting Pot. Finally, Niel Costa is a barrister from Gibraltar.
Berenstein Bears. I remember the yellow sun.
How do you even know all of this? 😮
@@JacobShippEvangelist because I did my research.

I remember back in 2005 my Jr. High history teacher had us watch these cartoons. I hope there's still some teachers out there showing these great cartoons to their classes.
Don't worry, my English teacher is showing this to us.
my history teacher uses these songs all the time
There is don't worry my teacher still does 😅
After they stopped showing these on Saturday mornings, I think kids got a little dumber.

Thankfully I had the VHS.
American kids
ok boomer
Da Man believe it or not smartness isn’t determined on learning other wise usually useless facts
Da Man we did
Such a great, educational song. Still hasn’t left my mind from when I first heard it in 5th grade when I was 11.

Same!
Thank you to all those who made Schoolhouse Rock possible. Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie, Grady Tate, Lynn Ahrens and so many others.
WE GETTING OUT OF THE 1800 WITH THIS ONE 💥💥💥💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥

RIP, George Newall. You did a good thing here. ❤️
I have to memorize the preamble...this is helping...
+The random I'm sorry you might have the wrong person.
Thanks for the upload.
Takes me back my the Saturday morning cartoons of the 70's!!
The Duchess me too
Sweet memories.
Me too. This was great stuff.
The Duchess
The 70's...BEST TIME EVER to be a kid
My civics teacher in 9th grade assigned the Preamble for us to memorize. I told her I already knew it, and could even sing it. She said, "Really. Prove it." I did--I had learned it thanks to School House Rock. She was impressed that Saturday morning cartoons were teaching these things, and I got bonus points for singing it the day it was assigned.
THIS GOES HARD DAAAAMN
bro ikr💀💀💀
Im in 10th grade and my S.S teacher told our class that if any of us recite this, we get extra credit points on our next test so i came back to this just to memorize it for tomorrow
Good on ya. What are you up to now that you're done with school?
how'd u do?
I agree with the others. You in college now or what’s up in life
So did you do?
I know your comment was from years ago, but we memorized it back in 8th grade and I'm kinda amazed you needed a refresher. It's been 13 years since then for me and I still got it down cold lol.
I'm a 60 year old man and I seriously have tears rolling down my face, partly from watching this during my childhood bat also from the love I have for the United States of America.
I can't believe that are teacher is making us sing this song for extra credit. I love school house rock. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!
*our not are
Even tho that was 3 years ago...
Who else got happy when they saw their home state appear on the map?
Me in elementary school
I did

Original 13 baby! PA
@@TheAnxiousAdventurer sc/nc
Just imagine if more school lessons were taught via song -- the kids would not only remember but would actually enjoy school.
I wish
My high school math teacher tried something like that. Every day, at least once per class, he'd play an airhorn remix of the quadratic formula. I despised that song and I still do, but I can practically recite it in my sleep now, so I guess it worked.
(The quadratic formula is negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac all over 2a)
I have been a teacher for 23 years now and that is just how I do it. If I can't find a song about a concept I make one up. Due in part to these great schoolhouse rock songs/videos. I play them for my students too.
@@jenniferroberts6071 props to you and your creativity by writing up catchy songs to memorize. That sounds difficult after a while.
In 1974, my eighth grade teacher gave us an assignment to learn the preamble to the constitution. When we learned it, each one of us had to stand in front of the class and recite it. I already knew it from Schoolhouse Rocks, so the next day I raised my hand to recite it. The whole class was so impressed. The teacher asked me how I learned it so fast, and I proudly turned to the class and said "SCHOOL HOUSE ROCKS!" 😊
Did Your High School Teacher Show That In 1974?
i had to memorize the preamble in the 5th grade back in 1997 and thanks to SHR, i was able to learn it quick and have never forgotten it and i am almost 30 years old!
I had to learn it in one of those single-number grades, back in the 70s. And this is how I did it. I'm 54 and still know it by heart.
Same but I had to memorize in 3rd grade
As kids being exposed to schoolhouse rock on Saturday mornings was a true gift. It was not until I was an adult going to college when I realized that I had been learning things via these great cartoons.
Haha same here
I love that the composer's name shows up on the voting levers.
I was the only kid in my Social Studies class to know the Preamble, Thanks School House Rock.
This got me an A+ in 8th grade American History. I still cannot RECITE the Preamble. But I can Sing it!
This song helped me get 100 on my 8th grade constitution test!
Same ❤️ first time hearing it was in 8th grade!
This is how I memorized the preamble and it still resonates 40 years later.
This was my introduction to the Preamble.
I love this song it’s so catchy ❤
Know the Preamble by heart
+Sandra Dean me too
Bro we still memorizing this
Fr I'm trying 😭😊
You got it. We need to remember. They tryin to switch it up on us.
In these dark times this song is almost melancholy. We will come back together one day.
When I was in 8th grade, way back in 1978, my Social Studies teacher gave the class a weekend assignment to memorize the Preamble and recite it to him on Monday. By sheer coincidence, this cartoon aired Saturday morning. Needless to say, the whole class scored a 100 on the assignment, which the teacher said had never happened before. He thought we all studied together in groups, and we never told him different.
I still love this and i miss the America we have lost because it's gone. This country we have now, i just don't know what it is anymore. These kids now, they don't understand what it cost for them to have the freedoms they have and the ones that are slowly slipping away from us.
They won't see it until it, finally, inconveniences them and then it will be a little too late.
Well said
Or maybe they just don't buy all this propaganda and see the US as what it has been for a lot longer than you think.
How do you mean? Be specific.
I'm not American or particularly well versed on what it was like in the 60s and 70s when this was made. But it wasn't that good back then, there was so much racism and hateful violence on each side. Women were still treated like there were 2nd class people and gays were at best considered mentally ill. Then there was the Vietnam war, the Watergate scandal and communist paranoia everywhere.
The America you have today has it's problems, Donald Trump, his supporters storming the capitol, anti-vaxxers, congress full of lobbyists and even a resurgence of white power. But I think it's still less racist, more inclusive and tolerant now then it's ever been.
And it could be worse, look at my country of Great Britain. Once we were an industrial super power and the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Now even we don't know what we do for money and the rest of the world either treats us like a joke for losing the empire or condemns us for having an empire in the first place.
@@EccentricGentelman No te pienso hablar en ingles, solo te dire que estas completamente equivocado y no se si sea por que eres un ingles y en tu pais no te diran nunca las cosas. Pero lo que dices es de alguien que no sabe nada de lo que pasa realmente en el mundo y quienes son los que estan detras de todo y oh sorpresa unos de los mas grandes involucrados por no decir que es el cabecilla de esto es tu "pequeño" y "debil" pais llamado inglaterra....
"Si vas a mear a un lado que sea siempre apuntando hacia inglaterra" - los europeos que saben la verdad. (Es una frase de europeos pero poco a poco se va sumando aqui en america latina, a ustedes les queda poco y su asqueroso imperio tambien, estados unidos despertara y se revelara, recuerda mis palabras, ellos lucharon del lado equivocado).
62 years old and I can still sing this! What a powerful way to memorize the preamble to the constitution. " We the people..."
I recently was at the National Archives, and this naturally was going through my head as I saw the Constitution. To read these words off the actual original document was a powerful moment for me.
The songwriters of the Schoolhouse rock songs were hesitant to give them these songs because they thought the melodies were too good for kids TV. Thank God they let the creators of the cartoons have them. They were right, these songs are awesome.
As a child, I heard this (along with other Schoolhouse Rock songs) on Saturday mornings. We heard them so often that they never left our minds. As a result, when I needed to know the preamble, I remembered this song and was able to write it out word for word without having to study it!
Schoolhouse Rock is incredible and is a fun and memorable way for children to learn and remember throughout their lives!
This is the way I learned it
It’s Constitution Day... I learned it by 🎤 🎶 🎵 Singing this song in a TV Commercial growing up...Catchy Tune...Let’s Sing it Together...
PREAMBLE:
WE THE PEOPLE...
IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION...
Establish JUSTICE
Insure Domestic Tranquility...
Provide for the Comman Defense
Promote the General Welfare and
Secure the Blessings of LIBERTY
To Ourselves and our Prosperity
To Ordain and Establish
This CONSTITUTION...
For the
United States 🇺🇸 of
AMERICA!!!
Yay!!!
I looked forward to ever Saturday when a new schoolhouse rock came on. Still know every word !!! Nice share!! Thank You!
I used to love this song! It’s so catchy! I was like, 7 or 8 in the 70s when SHR used to be on tv & it was so fun. I’m glad they’re on yt. I can walk down memory lane & get a smile🤗.
they played these over & over on saturday morning cartoon block in the early 70's & would pound the message into your head, sometimes 2 in a row, these really do help kids with a catchy jingle & very simple to remember. i acually became stuck on a question on a test & played the jingle under my breath (conjuction junction & adjectives song) & got the answer right.
I grew up in 70's, bought all the cassettes to play in the minvan when my oldest was a baby...all three grew up listening to them.
oh god the nostalgia... I can't remember the last time I listened to this and I still had every word memorized by heart even before taking a listen again for the first time in years
“We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessing of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.”
- Preamble of The U.S. Constitution, 1787.
That brings back some Saturday morning memories
Shout out to Schoolhouse Rock and this video for making me a 100 on my Preamble recital back when I was in 5th grade. (1996)
I must of listened to this a whole lot as a child because I've had this memorized for over 5 years without even trying.
this song saved me on a test. Had to know the preamble. I sung it in my head until I had it all on my page.
We the people in order to form a more perfect union establish justice ensure domestic tranquility provide for the common defense promote the general wellfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.
Good memories , and a great teaching tool .
Got me through my junior high, high school, and college Constitution tests. Thank you, SHR!
By singing the Preamble is the only way i can recite it. Thanks schoolhouse rock!
I am the biggest fan. Watched religiously as a young girl. Now using these videos to teach my International adults at the community college where I am an ESL instructor! Love them all! Many thanks! Who said learning wasn't fun?
I used this song to memorize the Preamble, and when I was younger I recited it to my dad just because I could. He's the one that told me about the missing words in the song, and I memorized it that way. (Not that I've ever needed it, but it's just something I've known, plus since I'm taking US History this year I'll most likely need it at some point.)
This should be required viewing for anyone required to take the Oath.
In all honesty: you have to memorize the preamble for a quiz and you’ve had this song stuck in your head for the past few days
Past few days?? Try the last 15 years 😂😂
Childhood. Should still be shown.
Randomly get recommended this video in 2024. I’m 30 and I remember singing this in the 8th Grade.
How well I remember these cartoons. I still have the VHS tapes and I have the DVD set.
Thank you for posting!
I just here 8th graders in my class singing this and I love it so much.
the only reason i can remember the preamble not gonna lie. Even find myself following the tune when saying it😂
As an older student, I'm enrolled in a PoliSci class, but this came out when I was in junior high, and we all sang this when we had to take the test on the preamble in the 1970s. I'm glad it's still around!
Videos like this remind me what I love about the USA
Catchy songs like this are the greatest way to teach...and REMEMBER facts. This song is GOLD!
Yeah the way I learned was okay but many schoolbooks lack details.
When I was in school, I was required to memorize the Preamble and recite it in class. I must’ve rewound this section at least 10 times before I felt comfortable enough. The rest of my class stumbled over it…that was until I went up and sang it. Everyone looked at me completely gobsmacked. I was the only one who got it perfect.
This made me cry. To think how far we as a nation have fallen.
Oh boy isnt that the truth
Oh yes take me back to 1787 please lord oh please

Well, far be it from me to question another’s weird fetishes…
I was in 7th grade when Mrs Sikcowski told me I would never forget this song. I'm 35 and she was 100% right. Now, my daughter is starting to learn about this, and she said she will never be able to memorize it. I told her she would, and she will never forget it lol
Perhaps its time for us to set our congress and the senate down in front of this video an remind them of there responsibilities
My (now retired) history teacher showed us this video to help memorize the Preamble. The problem (for me), we had to say the whole Preamble to the whole class. I was really fortunate enough to have memorized it by now.
Who's watching this in 2024
In Boston following the Liberty Trail.
Sadly, not enough.
I just showed it to my 7th graders. They need to have the preamble pretty much memorized for their test, and i thought this may help them.
Amazing Race brought me here!!

I loved this show. Thank you for sharing,. Its what made me want to learn History & English
This helps me study for my test. Thx!!
Same with me.
DPG-DerpyPigGaming Same with me
I remember watching this in Mrs. Saums’ fifth grade history class in 2012. When we had to recite the preamble, the boys simply spoke it, but the girls had no problem singing it. Good times.
I’m incredibly jealous of those who where lucky to grow up on this show
I..... would be one of those, lol! 😆
But be thankful. Your generation has the Internet, where people of my generation saved this, for posterity, so your generation can show it to your kids (if you decide to have any, and/or if this world still exists).
I remember being in 5th grade and the teacher would give us extra credit if we could stand in front of the class and recite the preamble by heart and this video was my holy grail
This is Lynn Ahrens' masterpiece.
wowzers this is my fav video ever!
fr
I have to say the preamble in front of my 4 grade class. this helped alot
i remember those days lol
The preamble is beautiful in its roots. Wish it were true today but we’re nowhere close to it sadly.
2023 WATCHING AND SINGING THIS...
This is awesome..who remembers????????
