Pap cried every Fourth of July Burgers from the grill and cherry pie Pink and red wash the sky Kids laughing, a game of tag Dogs sniffing, tails wag Veterans march, grand old flag Everybody waiting for the show Boom and bang, here we go The neighbor girl kisses her beau Musical lawn chairs, grab a seat Ice cream cone, lick a treat Marching band lays down a beat Hug your neighbor, never ask why Hope and glory should never die A single tear every Fourth of July
