losses from stpm rot. Where tht
ofop is to be harvested for the earlj

I here should be 110 need for nuuklut
Nor for chronic belly-aching
In this grand land of the free,
None can ''blitzkrelg" you or me.
We can dance and sing arid shout,
We never hear the dire "blackout'
Nor need we,t\ial with trepidation
The radio?to our favorite station.
Our news Is still free of the censot
We have no ration card dispenser
We go to the church of our choice
And in our government have voice,
So let's be happy, carefree, gay.
Give thanks ?o God each night we
pray
Because He chose for yoit and me
Birth in this land of liberty.
