Lyrics

Here's one with your fathers moustache, the old cookie jar, rubbers, sneakers, galoshes, belt buckles, and book covers with the name of your high school neatly imprinted in crimson and gold on the front cover with a picture of the goal post and last year's queen.

God bless america
Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above.
