Aaonr forefathers made their tyrants quake.

And while they jell let mighty trnmpets brayl
Iteverlxratinc; thunder split the sky.
And 1U tilings blazo to lick the ocean dry!
tet fire to ererythinu, and bantt around
The wbolu rreated world to swell the sound.
Burn up the poles, like two great cracker
strinirs.
And fill Hj-mmes' Hole with dynamite, and
thinyn.
Anticipate the awfnl crack of doom
With all the miRhti8t cannons' cacophonous
boom;
Then swell the noise with shouts; yell, split
your throats;
Add even cornets and the base dram's note!
Sound the hew-gas?! Play the pattlo-tongl
Let the jawbone Jingle!
Tor this Is the Fourth of July.
. Make a noise!
