O play the fife and beat the drum, Each day is Flag Day now! The birds are singing in the trees, Each day is Flag Day now! Unfurl our banner to the breeze, Each day is Flag Day now! Hail Flag, that shows the clustered Stars, Each day is Flag Day now! For Uncle Sam is in the Wars, Each day is Flag Day now! Fling to the breeze the Stars and Stripes, Each day is Flag Day now ! Freeman and Tyrant are at gripes, Each day is Flag Day now! That banner o'er the seas shall wave, Each day is Flag Day now! Its presence still shall tell the brave, Each day is Flag Day now ! Let Faith and Courage fill the land, Each day is Flag Day now! To win the fight we take our stand, Each day is Flag Day now! Our sons shall battle in their might, Each day is Flag Day now! No Peace 'till triumph'd has the Right, Each day is Flag Day now!
