Jesse Welles - The Star Spangled Banner

To Rate
Chorus
The Star Spangled Banner is hard to sing
Blame it on the alcohol or Francis Scott Key
Oh, say, oh, say, oh
Can’t you see?
That dadgum flag song is hard to sing

Verse 1
Roseanne had some trouble with it
Carl Lewis was pretty bad
Fergie had a moment
Ingrid went to rehab
It was the Battle of Baltimore
The year is 1810 and 4
Francis Scott Key wrote a poem real quick
And he set it to a tune by Mr. John Smith
That’s how we got it

Verse 2
The Defense of Fort McHenry is a difficult tune
Hell, I can hardly sing but it sure beats me
And it could probably beat you too
It’s got a melody
It's been in cеnturies
With words I've nevеr used
And you mostly gotta sing it
In front of a big 'ole herd of drunken dudes
It's hard to do
It's hard enough to sing
Let alone left to me
And you got war and gore on the TV screen
And every damn thing's a conspiracy
Man, the Star Spangled Banner's kinda hard to sing, uh, huh
Chorus
The Star Spangled Banner is hard to sing
Blame it on the alcohol or Francis Scott Key
Oh, say, oh, say, oh
Can’t you see?
That dadgum flag song is hard to sing, uh-huh
