Historical Note |
|
Musical Note | A sturdy duple-time march (marked "march time"), with typical fanfare figures and rat-a-tat-tat fills, the verse quotes "America" and paraphrases the final couplet from the Star Spangled Banner—or quotes the text of "You're a Grand Old Flag"—in the last two lines. |
