They fought so valiantly to save.
This ground made sacred by their tears,
Our starry flag above each head,
For upwards of a thousand years
A shrine shall be unto our dead.
EVERYBODY’S FRIEND
At first we wuz gay as the ship slipped away
From the land where we’d lived all our lives,
An’ we laughed an’ we sang till the whole harbor rang,
An’ threw kisses to mothers and wives.
