Let's say it with firecrackers and banners held high
Let's have a real old-fashioned noisy Fourth of July

Let's say it with firecrackers down south and up north
Let's have the kind we used to call a glorious Fourth

Let's salute our native land
Roman candles in each hand
While a Yankee Doodle band
Gets hotter than a firecracker

Don't need any long speeches or shouts of "Hooray!"
No words can say as much as firecrackers can say
