Oh say can you see
The flag waving at me
The fireworks in the sky
Bursting like rockets up high
The kids with their sparklers
all in red, white, and blue colors
The people dressed patriotically
Dancing to the music erotically
Everyone in joyful moods
Eating all the grilled foods
Adults drinking alcohol
Kids drinking non-alcohol
With boats they embark
all going to a National Park
Celebrations happening everywhere
Traditional Parades over here.
Flags standing proudly tall
Texans saying Howdy, Y'all
All this to honor the United States
With multiple nationwide fetes
Everyone say Happy Birthday
On this hot 4th of July day.
