The Friday Fling Sings Its Way Through Fourth Of July Weekend!
Friday Fling #239 for July 5th 2013
The Fourth of July is always a time for celebration in the USA.
And celebration includes singing,
as Bettie’s challenge yesterday suggested with lyrics to Martina McBride’s Independence Day song.
Although Friday is the day after,
it’s still part of the extended July 4th vacation weekend for many.
So our challenge this week is for you to write Fourth of July-relevent lyrics
to a melody familiar to you and your likely readers here.
The format will be entirely determined by the melody you choose! Like this:

WE’LL CELEBRATE THIS WEEKEND
To the tune of “We’re Off To See The Wizard”
We’ll celebrate this weekend,
the glorious Fourth of July.
We know it was a heckuva day
if ever a day there was.
If ever a holiday there was,
the Fourth of July is one because,
we made our independence de-
claration, that wonderful thing that day.
We’ll celebrate this weekend
the glorious Fourth of July,

We are off to see the glorious fire works
Gonna celebrate this weekend
On independence day
The Fourth Of July
Fire works
By the truck load
Gonna light up the skies
Wit fire works this high to the clouds
Color them red white and blue
Some even green yellow and gold
We are off to see the fire works
In this beautiful world of oz
Might even see the wizard up to some of his magic
And a glorious thing it will be to celebrate this wonderiful wizard world of oz

OUR VOICES RISING
We lift our voices high
celebrating freedom’s day
on the Fourth of July;
flags waving everywhere,
fireworks exploding in mid-air,
our song of pride rising
along with our prayers.
For future generations
our hope that peace will reign
throughout all the world;
above the din and strife,
heard clearly morn till night,
our song of celebration
on this Independence Day.
