Music with Mr. B

Do you know the lyrics to You're a Grand Old Flag?

You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Cats can purr and cats can mew.
Do you like cats?
I sure do!
