Thread Name: My Country Isn't Thee...?
Subject: My Country Isn't Thee...?
When I was a little kid still in grade school, we used to sing this irreverent song set to "My Country 'Tis of Thee":
"My country isn't the sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing,
My country hates me, I'm going to Germany to see the queen.
Her name is Donald Duck, she drives a garbage truck,
From ev-er-y mountainside, let her dump the trash!"
Is anyone else familiar with it? Does anyone know where it originated? Some book perhaps? Some person?
I didn't mean any disrespect, I was just wondering :).
