Let’s Say It With Firecrackers Irving Berlin

Let’s say it with firecrackers
And banners held high
Let’s have a real old-fashioned noisy Fourth of July

Let’s say it with firecrackers
Down south and up north
Let’s have the kind we used to call a glorious Fourth

Let’s salute our native land
Roman candles in each hand
While a Yankee Doodle band
Gets hotter than a firecracker

Don’t need any long speeches
Or shouts of “Hooray!”
No words can say as much as firecrackers can say

Freedom! Freedom!
Here comes the Freedom Man

On this day of independence
On this Independence Day
Listen to an American troubador from the U.S.A

I’m singing a song of freedom
For all people who cry out to be free
