June 26th 1941 New York
Patrick Henry of Virginia
Said, "If liberty's within ya,
It's a priceless thing you want to cherish!
Some I know can take or leave it,
Talk a lot but half believe it;
As for me, I'll have it or I'll perish!".
Although the man who said these words is gone now,
The thought behind his noble speech lives on now;
Free for all,
We like the kind of living that is
Free for all,
And lady luck is giving us
A priceless thing,
A chance to sing,
And wake up every morning hearing freedom ring!
Free for all,
Forget about your troubles,
There is glee for all right here!
Just remember, son,
Life is so much fun
When it's free for all!
Free for all,
Forget about your troubles,
There is glee for all right here!
Just remember, son,
Life is so much fun
When it's free for all!
