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.
