Fourth of July
A dolphin ride in a lake that's green
While covered in a greasy sheen
Cooking under my sunscreen
My father throws me high
Hungry now and out of breath
Underwater I go deaf
Splashing up to see what's left
Of sandwiches to try
Fireworks explode above
Mother hugs me, full of love
And I fit just like a glove
Oh, Fourth of July
