There was little Willie Browning, the worst of all the boys

Who had a sure-nuff cannon that made all kinds of noise;

And when the cannon wouldn't go he blew into the muzzle,

But what became of Willie's teeth has always been a puzzle.

How the folks looked askance

At the seats of our pants,

When those giant skyrockets

Went off in our pockets!

Gee whiz!

What fun the Fourth is!
