The Amendment Song (sung to the 12 Days of Christmas)

The First Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
Freedom of religion, speech and press
The Second Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
Right to bear arms,
The Third Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
No soldiers in our homes now,
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
Where’s your warrant please?
The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
Don’t rat on yourself,
The Sixth Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
Right to a quick trial,
The Seventh Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
Jury of your peers,
The first part of the Eighth Amendment says . . . .
They can’t raise your bail,
The second part of the Eighth Amendment says . . . .
The cops aren’t allowed to beat ya,
The Ninth Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
We have lots of rights,
The Tenth Amendment of the Constitution says . . . .
We the people have the say,
The rest of the Amendments of the Constitution say . . . .
All people are created equal.

Credit should be given to screenwriter Douglas McGrath for the mnemonic device he devised to remember the Constitutional amendments in the 1993 version of the film "Born Yesterday" on which this version, adapted by Chelly Eifert, was based.
