Lyrics
  • Take Off Your Hats Boys and Cheer Verse: All over Earth we hail the birth of freedom newly won The tyrant’s pow’r shall cease this hour, his cruel day is done. We won the fight for God and right, and every heart is proud, To see parade with flag displayed we join in shouting loud. Refrain: Take off your hats, boys, and cheer, hip hooray! All hail the flag of the dear U.S.A. The banner that’s unfurled for the good of all the world the Star Spangled message of man’s better day. The flag that was raised when we won liberty
  • the glorious banner of democracy
  • It’s God’s guarantee that all men shall be free. SO, take off you hats, boys, hooray! Verse: Red, white, and blue
  • we honor you for all you mean to man. You freed the slave, mad true men brave, all blood American. You taught the love of one above that means equality
  • Our hats we’ll raise with notes of praise when you, dear flag, we see. Refrain
