Irving Berlin - Let's Say It With Firecrackers lyrics
[Irving Berlin - Let's Say It With Firecrackers lyrics]
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
Freedom! Freedom! Here comes the Freedom Man
On this day of independence
On this Independence Day
Listen to an American troubador from the USA
I’m singing a song of freedom
For all people who cry out to be free
Free to sail the seven seas
Free to worship as we please
If the birds up in the trees can be free
Why can’t we?
I’m bringing a song of freedom
To all people wherever they may be
Free to speak and free to hear
Free from want and free from fear
Sons of freedom far and near who agree
Sing with me
That all God’s people shall be free
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
Freedom! Freedom! Here comes the Freedom Man
On this day of independence
On this Independence Day
Listen to an American troubador from the USA
I’m singing a song of freedom
For all people who cry out to be free
Free to sail the seven seas
Free to worship as we please
If the birds up in the trees can be free
Why can’t we?
I’m bringing a song of freedom
To all people wherever they may be
Free to speak and free to hear
Free from want and free from fear
Sons of freedom far and near who agree
Sing with me
That all God’s people shall be free
