Spirit of '76

The Flyers beat the Reds fair and square

While up the coast some fled the Devil's lair

An heiress was into her irons thrown

While the family feuds exploded in our homes

Moon collapsed in the garden

Vikings looted the plains

Spirit of '76

We were such a tender age

The Mohican swore he would get organized

To clean the war forever from his mind

A farmer came with peanuts in his hand

Then wept a bit while waltzing to the band

Moon collapsed in the garden

Vikings looted the plains

Spirit of '76

We were such a tender age

Moon collapsed in the garden

Vikings looted the plains

Spirit of '76

We were such a tender age

Moon collapsed in the garden

Vikings looted the plains

Spirit of '76

We were such a tender age
