The Politically Correct National Anthem

As we stand here and wait for the ballgame to start
And so proudly we wear our favorite team’s sweat shirt.
We are ready to cheer, maybe get in a fight
O’er the bleachers we watch and are gallantly screaming.
And the players’ all stare as balls hurl through the air
Gave proof through the night, referee’s calls were fair
O say that that our star-studded team will win the game
For the fans up in the stands and TV watcher the same.

Comedian Albert Brooks foresaw the difficulties we would have with the National Anthem and wrote his own versions in 1973. I saw him on TV and never forgot. So, I wrote my own version above.
