Our National Anthem


The Hero of Arethusa

After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Cerebria
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Jeffery was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Mighty Green Baron was rollin' out the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Mighty Green Baron of Cerebria

In the nick of time, a hero of Arethusa arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Mighty Green Baron was rollin' out the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Mighty Green Baron of Cerebria

Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Council for a new battle plan
He challenged the Cerebrian to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight

That Mighty Green Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Mighty Green Baron went spinning out of sight

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Mighty Green Baron was defeated for
The Great Arethusa by the dog Snoopy
Our Victorious Country was finally free


Our recording of the anthem that we played in class was too big of a file to let me upload on here and my internet sucks so it would have taken way to long to upload to youtube. Here is the original music video of the above song we modified.
