I can hear them calling way from Oregon

I can hear them calling way from Oregon

And it's almost Independence Day

Me and my lady, we go steppin' (we go steppin')

We go steppin' way out on China town

All to buy some Hong Kong silver

And the wadin' rushing river (we go steppin')

We go out on the, out on the town tonight

I can hear the fireworks

I can hear the fireworks

I can hear the fireworks

Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco bay

Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco bay

I can hear them echoing

I can hear, I can hear them echoing

Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco bay

I can see the boats in the harbor (way across the harbor)

Lights shining out (lights shining out)

And a cool, cool night

And a cool, cool night across the harbor

I can hear the fireworks

I can hear the people, people shouting out

I can hear the people shouting out (up and down the line)

And it's almost Independence Day

I can see the lights way out in the harbor

And the cool, and the cool, and the cool night

And the cool, and the cool, and the cool night breeze

And I feel the cool night breeze

And I feel, feel, feel the cool night breeze

And the boats go by

And it's almost Independence Day

And it's almost, and it's almost Independence Day

Way up and down the line

Way up and down the line...
