Red Skelton on TV Show January, 1969Slide14

Oh, say can you see, by the dawn’s early light.What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleamingWhose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

Francis Scott KeyStar Spangled BannerSlide15
