Our National Anthem, According To Ross

It's amazing to me how a song that the kids hear every single day at school can be learned so horribly wrong. Ross was singing the Star-Spangled Banner (or the Pledge of Allegiance as he called it) on the way to school today. Here's how it went:

Oh say can you see

by the dawn surly line

what so proudly we hail

at the twilight's asking me.

Whose got stripes and bright stars?

through the perilous fight

for the ramparts we watched

were so down and please stream me

And the rocket's pledge where

the bombs bursting in air

gave through be line night

that our flag was still there

Oh say does that star spangled wanner yet pledged

For the land of the free

and the home of the pledged.
