Last year in order to save some money
Which in hindsight wasn't smart
Me and my buddies got together
To make our own fireworks
And as luck would have it
We found all we need under the kitchen sink
The whole time looking to do this cheap
Instead we came out free
Knowing this day would draw a crowd
As soon as the rumor mill filled up
So in our vast wisdom with a few cells missing
We mixed the batch up in Jimmy's tub
Not being exact on science
As illustrated in that magazine
We felt no need to measure
And might have gone a bit extreme
As soon as the stuff started bubbling up
That thought did cross our minds
Remember at the start, saying it wasn't smart
And that little mention of hindsight
With the size of the flash, little wonder we're not ash
And still have all our fingers and toes
It's hard to explain the size of the bang
And why now Jimmy's house is one big hole
But we did put on a show not soon forgotten
That could be seen from outer space
And where Jimmy's house used to be
There's now a community pool in it's place
So come and join us on this holiday
Burgers, beer, and of course fireworks
In fact we're heading to Davy's house now
To mix a few things up...
I'm having to scoot out the door to work but I hope everyone has a wonderful day celebrating this great country of ours. I know we're in a time where a lot of people don't agree about the greatness of America but believe me it is. Sure we have a past (and who doesn't) but we have worked thru most of mistakes for the better and if we will all come together we'll work thru this one too.
