Here's To The Red Of It

ARRANGEMENT: American Flag is posted on the stage. Four Cub Scouts in uniform have speaking parts.

1ST CUB: Here's to the Red of it - 
not a thread of it, Thrilled by the sight of it,
In all the spread of it, But feels the might of it,
But heroes bled for it, Womanhood's care for it,
Precious blood shed for it, Purity's prayer for it,

3RD CUB: Here's to the White of it
-There's No, nor a shred of it, 
Who knows the right of it?
From foot to head. 
Through day and night?
Faced steel and lead for it, 
Made manhood dare for it,
Bathing it red! 
Keeps it so White!

2ND CUB: Here's to the Blue of it
Beauteous view of it, 
Heavenly hue of it, 
Star-spangled dew of it, 
Constant and true! 
Diadems gleam for it, 
States stand supreme for it, 
Liberty's beam for it, 
Brightens the blue! 

4TH CUB: Here's to the whole of it
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Body and soul of it,
O, and the roll of it,
Sun shining through!
Hearts in accord for it,
Swear by the sword for it,
Thanking the Lord for it,
Red, White, and Blue!
