[Opening musical notes play]
[Tape begins] Oh, say can you see
by the dawn's early light?
What so proudly we hail
at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes
and bright stars,
through the perilous fight,
o'er the ramparts
we watched,
were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rocket's red glare!
The bombs bursting in air!
Gave proof
through the night
that our flag was still there.
O, say,
does that star-spangled
banner yet wave?
O'er the land of the free,
and the home of the
brave?
[Audience applause]
