Independence Day

They held a meeting in the town hall
planning for the Big Parade
They set up bleachers and a grandstand
don't forget the beer and lemonade

Uncle John will lead the brass band
Aunt Abigail will bake the cake
The daughters of the revolution
will light the fireworks display

I can feel the winds of change
blow across the bay
on Independence Day

As we march along Tommy J. will lead us on
to the rally in the park
Dressing up so fine here comes celebration time
we'll start the party after dark

Soul to soul the flame is kindled
lighting up the way
on Independence Day

meeting in the green dragon
we won't be afraid
laying out a course of action
come what may
on Independence Day
