The Glorious Fourth

Obi it starts fellow Keeling
With that patriotic feeling
On the glorious old fourth day of July.
And you cheer quite long and loudly
And you stick your chest out proudly
When you see "Old Glory" loom against
the sky
History will tell the story
How they fought for dear "Old Glory, .
And the valor of the boys in buff and blue
For the fighting Continental,
In his ragged regimental,
Loved his country with spirit stanch
and true.
How il starts your body swaying
When you hear the brass band playing
How that patriotic music makes you feel
You could jump half-mil. chasm
In your deep enthusiasmi-
How it makes you squirm and wiggle
like an eel
1t Just sets you off yom trolley,
And you swear and pledge, by gollyi-
With patriotic lustrc in your eye
''That you'll ever love your nation"
And you shout in jubilation,
On the glorious old fourth day of July

ISTORY informs us that on No

Washington was returning from
Yorktown, where, a few weeks pre-

his way to New York to resume opera
lions against the enemy there.
On his arrival at Philadelphia the
general found that preparations hac
been made for great reception. Con
gress adjourned for the occasion, the
citizens of the whole vicinity turned
out, the newly born Stars and Stripes
floated everywhere, everybody cheered
and the old bell rang jubilantly.
