People, there’s no need to despair
If you’re worried ‘bout your food, land, and air
I can tell you, there are people who care
There’s no need to be unhappy

People, there’s a place you can go
Where there’s research on how to make your plants grow
And some programs that pay the growers some dough
Even when they don’t plant nothing

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
Congress legislates
Then they regulate
They get to make all the rules

If you’re worried ‘bout microbes in your beef
FSIS, they’ll provide some relief
Their inspectors have sharp authority teeth
They’ll put the bad guys out of business

Food stamps, yes they handle those too
School lunches, here’s some pizza for you
And extension, to teach us all that is new
It is really quite impressive

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
Congress legislates
Then they regulate
They get to make all the rules

If those Medflies try to get in your way
They’ve got APHIS there to enter the fray
And they’re armed with malathion to spray
So our growers need not worry

If disasters come and wipe out the farm
Crop insurance is there to lessen the harm
If there’s surplus, there’s no need for alarm
Thanks to price supports and Congress

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
Congress legislates
Then they regulate
They get to make all the rules

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me

It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.

They get to make all the rules
