Another milestone gained and passed,
Another “rakkud” broken,
And this year’s deaths exceed the last,
Which is a hopeful token.
America can ne’er look back;. . . .
She is the land progressive
She keeps along the onward track
With “vim” and pep excessive.
For they who meet and meekly sing,
To mark a celebration,
Such trifles as “God Save the King”
Make no real “he-man” nation.
The U.S.A., from south to north,
Recounts the splendid story,
For it sure is one Glorious Fourth,
When hundreds go to glory.
