Happy 4th of July

In order to save some money Which in hindsight wasn't smart Me and my buddies got together To make our own fireworks And as luck would have it We found all we need under the kitchen sink The whole time looking to do this cheap Instead we came out free Knowing this day would draw a crowd As soon as the rumor mill filled up So in our vast wisdom with a few cells missing We mixed the batch up in Jimmy's tub Not being exact on science As illustrated in that magazine We felt no need to measure And might have gone a bit extreme As soon as the stuff started bubbling up That thought did cross our minds Remember at the start, saying it wasn't smart And that little mention of hindsight With the size of the flash, little wonder we're not ash And still have all our fingers and our toes It's hard to explain the size of the bang And why now Jimmy's house is one big hole But we did put on a show not soon forgotten That could be seen from outer space And where Jimmy's house used to be There's now a community pool in it's place So come and join us on this holiday Burgers, beer, and of course fireworks In fact we're heading to Davy's house now To mix a few things up...
