2011 The USA Year in Review
| January | Found us involved in wars in faraway lands Not exactly the reason to strike up the band But that would bring me to what I have to say The cost of freedom comes with a high price to pay |
| February | We celebrate the birth of two presidents One who fought the war that created the birth of our Nation The other used a war to reunite out Nation |
| March | Everyone is Irish on St. Patty’s Day They and many other immigrants came to this wonderful land For the promise of freedom and all the bounty they could stand |
| April | Creates the showers that bring to life all the crops and flowers To beautify this country for all the world to see How magnificent it is from sea to shining sea |
| May | Brought an event that will need no remake And sent a message to others when we cut off the head of the snake And I say this without the least bit of disdain Bravo Zulu to our Navy Seals for putting a bullet in Ben Ladin’s brain It also brings a day that we need to stop, pause and recall That to our Veterans, all gave some and some gave all They say I’m a Flag waver and that is so true And I will proudly always stand by the red, white and blue |
| June | We honor the Flag of this great country and strive to endeavor To remember those who dies defending the stars and stripes forever |
| July | This is when we broke free from any foreign dependence And proudly declared our own independence So gather with friends and keep the Flag handy And proudly proclaim “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy” |
| August | The international community finally made things current And for that tin horn dictator issued an arrest warrant And Khadafi better get his flying carpet off the ground Especially if he hears a copter land in his compound |
| September | We remember a day with very much sorrow For the victims of 9-11 there will be no tomorrow But since then we have done our best to turn the tide Remember, you jerks, you can run but you can’t hide |
| October | And I’d be remiss if we didn’t get our share of the gravy And thank the men and women of the U.S. NAVY |
| November | May this be the month when together we band To thank God for the blessings of this great land |
| December | And he is a man who at his job is no rookie And it’s my guess he’s pretty turned off those darn milK and cookies But remember it’s done for one good reason To welcome in a most Joyous Season For the freedom we enjoy many had had to pay But there still ain’t no place like the good ole USA And the man in the song said it much better than I So I’ll just quote him rather than even try “I’ll proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain’t no doubt I live it best GOD BLESS THE USA” |
