"they came and they waited
for the show to begin
to say happy birthday
to show our unity

it is a celebration
as american as apple pie
it is the fourth of july

it is a community affair
it is a family affair
it is only fair
that we come out and stare

as the dusk nears
the firecracker man appears
to awe and inspire the children
as the show ends on bang"
