Firecracker
Firecracker, look at you go
Sparking, spitting, flying by,
Putting on quite a show
For every Fourth of July
Bang! There goes the first
Crack! Goes number two,
Snap! The third one burst
Pop! For the red, white and blue
Let freedom ring out
Independence for us all,
One day a year to shout
Hear all voices call
When we can't say this
And we can't do that,
In a country amiss
Where freedom's at
Long gone is the way
Of such prim and poise,
Today, all of us can say
Let's make some noise
Bang! There goes the first
Crack! Goes number two,
Snap! The third one burst
Pop! For the red, white and blue
Sparking, spitting, flying by
Putting on quite a show,
For every Fourth of July
Firecracker, look at you go!
