Cnfurl Old Glory to the preeze,
And see It waving there
Cnfurl the cause Of truth and right
Wrapped in its folds 50 fair;
Unfurl our banner, pure and bright,
Americas proud boast;
Stamp out the lust OF hate and greed
Altar from coast TO coast.
Unfurl our standard to the air,

Democracy to save.
Unfurl our shining Stars and Stripes,
Ger our fair land so free;
We love each shining silken fold,
Our flag Of liberty.
