Lyrics

THE SPIRIT OF 76
Words and Music by John Cannon
 
We’ve been here 200 years, gonna’ be here 200 more
If you want to see what makes us go around
Then you’ve got to walk upon our shore
And we’re proud of most things we’ve done
Though we’re not always what we seem, oh no
 
So if you want a shot of red, white and blue
If you want a shot of red, white and blue
Then I’ll tell you what you’ve got to do
Get with the Spirit of 76, Get with the Spirit of 76
Get with the Spirit of 76, Get with the Spirit of 76
 
Now we’re sittin’ on top of the moon
And we’d be glad to take you along
Though you may not think that we care at all
We think about you all the time
And we’re proud of the blood we come from
Good people all over the world yeah
 
So if you want a shot of red, white and blue
Yes, if you want a shot of red, white and blue
Then I’ll tell you what you’ve got to do
Get with the Spirit of 76, Get with the Spirit of 76
Get with the Spirit of 76, Get with the Spirit of 76
 
 
 
Now in order to effect some change
We’ve got to preserve our freedom
No one else can be to blame
If we don’t do what should be done
And we’re proud to accept the challenge
To give our children a better world, oh yeah
 
So if you want a shot of red, white and blue
Yes, if you want a shot of red, white and blue
Then I’ll tell you what you’ve got to do
Get with the Spirit of 76, Get with the Spirit of 76
Get with the Spirit of 76, Get with the Spirit of 76
