Find it on YouTube if this link doesn't work; my phone is not good about posting links. This little gem I first ran into in Ken Burns' film "The Dust Bowl" on PBS is worth it.

(50,566 posts)15. From an Irishman: Almost Independence Day
I especially like this because I am a former Bay Area dweller (among other places) who lives in Oregon.
I can hear them calling way from Oregon
I can hear them calling way from Oregon
And it's almost Independence Day
Me and my lady, we go steppin' (we go steppin')
We go steppin' way out on China town
All to buy some Hong Kong silver
And the wadin' rushing river (we go steppin')
We go out on the, out on the town tonight
I can hear the fireworks
I can hear the fireworks
I can hear the fireworks
Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay
Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay
I can hear them echoing
I can hear, I can hear them echoing
Up and down the, up and down the San Francisco Bay

I love america, her secret's safe with me
And I know her wicked ways
The parts you never see
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although you have a reputation
Can I afford to move above my station
I'm not the only heart you've conquered
And I love america, but boy can she be cruel
And I know how tall she is
Without her platform shoes
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don't run away, oh don't you recognize me
I'm not the only heart you've conquered
And I kissed america, when she was fleecing me
She knows I understand that she needs to be free
And I miss america and sometimes she does too
And sometimes I think of her
When she is fucking you
I love america
Yo siempre he confiado en ti [=i have always trusted you]
I love america
Por que me tratas asi? [=why do you treat me like this? ]
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although your pants are round your ankles
And when you're down, I'll be your dirty harry
It will be just like in the movies
Oh super-girl, you'll be my super-model
Although at times it might seem awkward
Don't look away, I'll be your teenage fanclub
I'm not the only heart you've conquered
