100%. Did better on this than on related quizzes, as well. Maybe the lyrics are easier to remember.

I got 100%, but it took me a second to figure out the fancy-pants AMERICA columns. I thought each word had to start with the letter above that column. Apparently not. :)

I was the kid who apparently muttered or hummed along in the mornings while reciting this song at school.

I've had to sing this so many times but funnily enough, have never known the lyrics, just the general sounds of the words and the tune. I tried all different combinations of "ample fields of green" and "amble seas of gray" for "amber waves of grain". I also thought "crown" was "bound".

I feel kind of stupid.

O, Beautiful,

For smoggy skies

Insecticided grains

For strip-mined mountains, majesty

Above the asphalt plains.

America, America,

Man sheds his waste on thee

And hides the pines

With billboard signs

From sea to oily sea!

RIP Carlin

I pulled out 100%. I probably haven't sung this since grade school. I'm glad to know the words are still up there somewhere in my brain amongst all of the classic rock and 90s song lyrics.

Got them all with 3:28 left. I was able to type it straight through with no problem. Guess I remembered it better than I expected.

However, I do feel obliged to point out that there are more verses to the song. I could never get the lyrics to those but they do exist:
