The fly has beat the Red's fair square
While up the coast some fled the devil's lair
And now this world's into our arms sprung
While the family feuds exploded in our homes

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

The Mohican swore he would get organised
To clean the war forever from his mind
The farmer came with peanuts in his hand
Then wept a bit while waltzing to the band

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age

Moon collapsed in the garden
Vikings looted the plains
Spirit of '76
We were such a tender age
