Lyrics

Episode version

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh, say can you, I'm askin', can you seeeeee,

By the dawn's...

...And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting - shoot 'em off! poppin' way up in the air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

...And the home of the brave?

Album version

Announcer:

Ladies and gentlemen, to honor America, will you please rise for our National Anthem... sung tonight by Springfield's rhythm 'n' blues sensation, "Bleeding Gums" Murphy.

Bleeding Gums Murphy:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh, say can you, I'm askin', can you seeeeee,

By the dawn's...

...And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting - shoot 'em off! poppin' way up in the air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

...And the home of the brave?
