My country ’tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the Pilgrim’s pride
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

Aha. Forgot there are Americanized lyrics. I guess I’ve spent too much time Over There over the years.

Was that Paul “Enron’s accountant” Krugman?
Just to clarify, Nobel Prizes are awarded in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. Krugman received the “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.” It was established in 1968. This is kind of like if Oscar Mayer gave away free hot dogs and the recipients called themselves Oscar winners.
You follow the science – I’ve already got enough to clean up after…
Hey, Paul! When I was ‘over there’ in the Military, I heard the Brit’s playing the tune, but I was singing the AMERICAN VERSION! Just like every good old Minuteman raised in the RED, WHITE, and BLUE!
I love my British cousins… but I never passed up a chance to remind them who Kicked who’s Ass!
Never gender
Man,woman, furry
Never royal
Favor to curry
Just assume
Wokeness is surer

“I didn’t know there was a British version of this song”
Put me down for, “He remembered the ‘My Country’ lyrics, but wanted to brag about his travels”, with a smaller amount on “He wanted to mock Americans who’d never heard the UK’s national anthem”.
I hear he also couldn’t believe there were other words to the Anacreontic Song.
