Oh, there's going to be fireworks (fireworks!)   On the Fourth of July (red, white, and blue!)   Red, white, and blue fireworks   Like diamonds in the sky. (diamonds in the sky!)   We're going to shoot the entire works on fireworks   That really show, oh yeah   We declared our liberty 200 years ago      Yeah!      In 1776 (fireworks!)   There were fireworks too (red, white, and blue!)   The original colonists   You know their tempers blew (They really blew!)   Like Thomas Paine once wrote:   It's only common sense (only common sense)   That if a government won't give you your basic rights   You'd better get another government      And though some people tried to fight it   Well, a committee was formed to write it:   Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston   John Adams, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson   They got it done (Oh yes they did!)   The Declaration, uh-huh-huh   The Declaration of Independence (oh yeah!)   In seventeen hundred seventy six (right on!)   The Continental Congress said that we were free (we're free!)   Said we had the right of life and liberty   . . . And the pursuit of happiness!      Oh, when England heard the news (kerpow!)   They blew their stack (they really blew their cool!)   But the colonists lit the fuse   There'd be no turning back (no turning back!)   They'd had enough of injustice now   But even if it really hurts, oh yeah   If you don't give us our freedom now   You're going to see some fireworks!      And on the Fourth of July they signed it   And 56 names underlined it   And now to honor those first 13 states   We turn the sky into a birthday cake   They got it done (oh yes, they did!)   The Declaration, uh-huh-huh   The Declaration of Independence (oh yeah!)   In seventeen hundred seventy six (right on!)   The Continental Congress said that we were free (we're free!)   Said we had the right of life and liberty   . . . And the pursuit of happiness!      We hold these truths to be self-evident   That all men are created equal   And that they are endowed by their creator   With certain inalienable rights   That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness      And if there's one thing that makes me happy   Then you know that it's (oh)   There's going to be fireworks!
