Spirit of '76 Lyrics
The fly has beat the Reds fair square
While (?????) the devil’s lair
And now (???????)
While the family feuds exploded in our homes
(????) collapsed in the garden
Vikings ???? the flames
Spirit of 76
We were such a tender age
The Mohican swore he would get organised
To clean the war forever from his mind
A farmer came with peanuts in his hand
Then wept a bit while waltzing to the band
(????) collapsed in the garden
Vikings ???? the flames
Spirit of 76
We were such a tender age
While (?????) the devil’s lair
And now (???????)
While the family feuds exploded in our homes
Vikings ???? the flames
Spirit of 76
We were such a tender age
To clean the war forever from his mind
A farmer came with peanuts in his hand
Then wept a bit while waltzing to the band
Vikings ???? the flames
Spirit of 76
We were such a tender age
