When I am dead my darling

When I am dead my darling,
Sing those songs I wrote
And plant roses to chill my head
And bedew my dusty frame.

When I am dead my darling,
Think those words I told
And write them on the ebbing shore
Waves will efface them, like fate effaced me.

When I am dead my darling,
Dream those distant vales
When I hold you tight,
And adorn you with buttercups.

When I am dead my darling,
When no more my heart beats
When no more desires peep,
Let your tears damp your dimpling cheeks.
Plant lovely roses on my head,
And shady cypress
That will cool me ever
With dew drops
With shady sun
With soothing rains.

I will watch the leaves fall
And rain and thunder balls,
And the fleeting clouds
And the crawling mist
From my silent grave

American soldier

American soldier
You are the savior of liberty.
American soldier
You are the guardian of democracy.
American soldier
You are the martyr of humanity.
American soldier
You are the out-pour of technology.

( Chorus )

When you hold the Great Old Glory,
Flitting with the Stars and Stripes,
When you yod'l the Star-Spangled Banner
And letting us know the sand-storm miseries,
Who on earth can challenge you,
Who on earth can charge you,
Who on earth can match you,
Who on earth can stop you.

(Chorus repeat)

When you hold the Great Old Glory
Flying with the Stars and Stripes,
When you nod The Star-Spangled Banner
And guessing us to know atom bomb nurseries.
Who on earth can revenge you,
Who on earth can scar you,
Who on earth can catch you,
Who on earth can hop you.

(Chorus repeat)

Refrain.

Your sacrifices will fly high and sky-high,
Your sacraments will bless the U.S and its allies,
Your sufferings will be shared by all of us and I,
Your sympathies will be extoll'd in our annals, all Fourth Julies.
God bless the U.S. soldiers.
God bless America.
God bless the U.S. marines,
God bless America.

(Chorus repeat)

Great American Girl

Great American Girl
You have fifty boon pearls.
Great American Girl
You are liberty's skirl.
Great American Girl
You have fifty boon pearls.
Great American Girl
You are freedom's whirl. (Chorus, repeat once)

(Spoken)
From Alabama to Wyoming
You smile and swing.
From Minnesota to Mississippi
You flow and link.
Colorado paints you golden,
Delaware studs you diamond,
Florida gave you sunshine.
Arizona clad its cotton.
Utah gifts you beehive lips.
Idaho blesses your gem teeth.
Nevada spun your silver braid.
Georgia tints your peach cheeks.

Chorus

(Spoken)
From Vermont to Virginia
You bust line swells.
From N'Dakota to New Jersey
Your garden scents.
Hampshire studs your granite eyes,
Kansas Oh your sunflower face,
Tennessee made you a volunteer.
Montana earned you great treasure.
Rhode Island mould you an oceanic power.
Maine refreshes you with pine air.
Washington paints you evergreen.
New York raises you an Empire.

Chorus

(Recitation)

The Star Spangled Banner's your best verse.
Stars and Stripes is your favorite dress.
On July 4th you celebrate your birthday,
July 20th, man on moon, your best day.

Chorus

Spastic Child

Verse:
Blooms are loved by bees,
Birds are loved by trees,
Shores are loved by seas,
Some love who could give me?

Chorus:
I am a less blessed child,
I am a spastic child,
I am a less wished child,
I am a flower wild.

Verse:
My eyes too have rolling tears,
And smile too has love and care,
My heart too has hidden dreams,
Oh, my shadow is spastic and mean.

Chorus:
I am a less blessed child,
I am a spastic child,
I am a God's step-child,
I am immobalised.

Verse:
My mum has no tears left,
And papa is bankrupt,
Life has become a debt,
Helpless prey in a spastic net.

Chorus, repeat

Refrain, fade out:
Am I a burden to my parents,
I am sick and look innocent.
Palsy and spasms are apparent,
I am a colourless pigment.
