To the ties that bind I bid goodbye
I'm the spirit of seventy -six,
complete with drum and five
Independent, self -sufficient,
Independent, self -supporting,
got no shoulder I can cry on
Now I'm liv ing, I'm on my own
Going it alone, I don't need anyone
roast the weenies, bake the bleenies
Now that I'm free, self -sufficient,
Traveling like flying solo,
every day is Independence Day
blithe and breezy, going it alone
I'm independent an d on my
Independent, self -sufficient
I've got nobody to rely on
Independent, self -supporting
Got no shoulder I can cry on
Now I'm livin', I'm on my own
Roast the weenies, bake the blinis
Now that I'm free, self -sufficient,
Travelin' light and flyin' solo
Every day is Independence Day
Free and easy, blithe and breezy,
Free and easy, blithe and breezy,
