This Is A Great Country
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Verse:]
Patriotism has gone out of fashion
We seem to think our patriotic days are dead
We used to sing of our homeland with passion
But now we seem to shy away from it instead
I think it's time to hit the nail right on the head
[Refrain:]
This is a great country, a great country
So let's shout it clear and loud
Take a look in your hist'ry book
And you'll see why we should be proud
Hats off to America
The home of the free and the brave
If this is flag waving, flag waving
Do you know of a better flag to wave?
