Someone up there wondered about the words to the national anthem (USA), so I'll write them out here from memory:

Oh, say, can you see
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last gleaming,
whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
o'er the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming.

And the rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.

Oh, say, does that star-spangled
banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free,
and the home of the brave.

Excuse punctuation errors, and also the fact that I don't include the other verses because I don't know them by heart.

I understand that the melody came from a British drinking song, which makes no sense to me because the melody is fairly challenging to sing well, and I cannot imagine a bunch of drunks singing it without sounding like a pack of howling hounds.

Banner regards,
WordWashington
