The next Colonel Sanders will be a woman Gone are the days of anguish and despair The next Colonel Sanders will lead us forward Into a bright new corporate age Reflect on the trail of misery behind us Redeemed are the faithful who never lost sight And pity the souls who've said it couldn't happen And those who have perished before She arrived For they'll never know the hard work is over Our sacrifice was hardly in vain It's plain by the face of our new Colonel Sanders Whose radiant smile forever shall reign
