The Star Spangled Banner (National anthem)
O say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
Oh say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
Yankee Doodle (Connecticut's State Song)
Yankee Doodle went to town
Riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it Macaroni.
Refrain:
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.
Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Goodwin
There we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty puddin'.(refrain)
And there was Captain Washington
Upon a slappin'stallion
Giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million! (refrain)
America
My country! 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside,
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake,
Let all that breathe partake.
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
