Chorus 1:

(Kids:) Once ev'ry year at the beach,
We watch fireworks that flare in the air,
High in the air, lighting the night on the bay.
A parade of rockets bursting,
Lemonade if we are thirsting;
Watching man-made constellations
On the nation's natal day.
So, once ev'ry year at the beach,
We watch fireworks that flare in the air,
High in the air, carve us a marvelous sight!
There'll be bombs full of thunder
To fill us with wonder,
So, come to the beach tonight.

Chorus 2:

Once ev'ry year at the beach,
We watch fireworks that flare in the air,
High in the air, lighting the night on the bay.
A parade of rockets bursting,
Lemonade if we are thirsting;
Watching man-made constellations
On the nation's natal day.
So, once ev'ry year at the beach,
We watch fireworks that flare in the air,
High in the air, carve us a marvelous sight.
There'll be bombs full of thunder
To fill us with wonder
On Fourth of July,
Let's give a cheer!
Fourth of July.
(Sylvia Johns, spoken:) Where's Richard?
(Michael Kirby, spoken:) I don't know, isn't he here?
(Kids:) Fireworks appear and we'll all meet again
At the fireworks display at the beach next year.
