America the Beautiful

America the Beautiful
O, Beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

O, Beautiful for pilgrim's feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat,
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thin every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O, Beautiful, for heros proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America, may God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain devine.

O, Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.

Upstairs to take a bath.

And a neck liek a giraff.

Acres of Clams

     I've wandered all over this country,
     Prospecting and digging for gold;

     I've tunnel'd, hydraulicked, and cradled,
     And I nearly froze in the cold.
     And I nearly froxe in the cold,
     And I nearly froze in the cold,
     I've tunnel'd, hydraulicked, and cradled,
     And I nearly froze in the cold.


     I rolled up my grub in my blanket,
     I left all my tools on the ground,
     I started one morning to shank it
     For the country they call Puget Sound.
     For the country they call Puget Sound,
     For the country they call Puget Sound,
     I started one morning to shank it
     For the country they call Puget Sound.

     No longer the slave of ambition,
     I laugh at the worls and its shams,
     And I think of my happy condition
     Surrounded by acres of clams.
     Surrounded by acres of clams,
     Surrounded by acres of clams,
     And I think of my happy condition
     Surrounded by acres of clams.

Aunt Rhody

         Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody,
         Go tell Aunt Rhody, the old gray goose is dead.

       -  The one she's been saving, [Repeat twice more.]
          To make a feather bed.

      -  She died in the mill pond, [Repeat twice more.]
         From standing on her head.

      -  The goslings are mourning, [Repeat twice more.]
         Because their mother's dead.

      -  The old gander's weeping, [Repeat twice more.]
         Because his mate is dead.
