 merica the  eautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

THE RED WHITE AND BLUE
Tune: "When the Saints Come Marching In"
Oh, when the flag comes marching in,
Oh, when the flag comes marching in,
How I love to see its three colors,
The red, white, and blue.
|
STARS AND STRIPES
(tune: Row, row, row, your boat)
Wave, wave, wave the flag,
As we march around.
Hold it high to show our pride,
It must not touch the ground.
Wave, wave, wave the flag,
Dear red, white and blue.
Stars and stripes forever bright,
America to you!

THE FLAG GOES BY
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky:
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!
Blue and crimson and white it shines,
Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before us fly;
But more than the flag is passing by.
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

OUR FLAG
(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)
Our flag is red, white, & blue
Red, white & blue
Red, white & blue
Our flag is red, white, & blue
In the U.S.A.
Our flag has 50 stars,
50 stars,
50 stars,
Our flag has 50 stars,
In the U.S.A.
Our flag has 13 stripes,
13 stripes,
13 stripes,
Our flag has 13 stripes,
In the U.S.A./font>

OUR FLAG
(tune: Twinkle, twinkle, little star)
Stripes and stripes and little stars,
Oh, how beautiful you are.
Red and white and blue, that's true,
Waving proud for me and you.
Stripes and stripes and little stars,
Oh, how beautiful you are!

DOWN AT THE FLAGPOLE
(tune: "Down By the Station" )
Down at the flagpole,
Early in the morning,
We will raise our flag,
The red, white, and blue.
We stand at attention,
It's something that we do.
We salute the colors,
The red, white, and blue.
