When the election was called for Biden, in 2020 - people were dancing in the streets.

It was the Saturday, four days after the election.

People took the streets in revelry, en masse.

Some of us were in tears of joy and relief.

(A good many British soccer fans were singing this about Margaret Thatcher decades ago, by the way)

Other than that, it's VengaBoys time!

It thanks G-d for keeping us alive and enabling us to celebrate a special event (or holiday) there's a version with a very peppy melody.
I sang it when Biden won, I'll sing it when we're free of this meddlesome priest.

The only one I could think of that is not already here is

"This is MY country"

Hope it fits, I don't know all the words but I remember hearing it a lot as a kid.

I’ll probably lose my voice cheering. Hands will be bruised and bloody from thousands of High Fives.

And with joyful tears running down my nonstop down my cheeks ….I’ll exclaim…
Sir, thank you sir, but why didn’t you die sooner?

Then break out in maniacal laughter wondering if they’ll bury him like Osama bin Laden. Buried at sea so no one could mess with the body.

Although that’s too broad a scope for the dumb ass (presently). However, he has done a lot of damage and let too many die due to his greed and sadism; he unleashed a “War on Poverty” his way.

Her face is cracked from smiling
All the tears that she's been hiding
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know
And her voice is sore from shouting
Cheering winners who are losing
And she worries if their days are few
And soon they'll have to go

My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
We' gonna dance and sing in celebration
We are in the promised land

She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in
Then she wonders what it's all about
When they break down the door
Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell

My, my, my, I'm so happy
I'm gonna join the band
We' gonna sing and dance in celebration
We are the promised land

There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination
But the price you pay to nowhere
Has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has!
And if you walk you're gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan, oh, yeah

If you walk you're gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands
