TRIBUTE TO ABE BLOOM
(To "Rally 'Round the Flag")
Sung in honor of Abe Bloom's 90th Birthday!
Celebrated on 4/13/03 with family and friends.

 

Now we rally forth in song, Abe, your honor to increase
Touting your battle cry for freedom
To live life in harmony with true justice and in peace
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

Oh, Abe Bloom forever, your heart and your skill
Down in the trenches and up on the Hill
You have stood up for us all with your courage and your will,
Working for justice, rights, and freedom.

And so Abe we wish you well; we're so glad to make a fuss
Singing your praises in our mirth way
May we get a health care plan that is right for all of us
Oh, what a present for your birthday!

Oh, Abe Bloom forever, your heart and your skill
Down in the trenches and up on the Hill
You have stood up for us all with your courage and your will,
Working for justice, rights, and freedom.

Oh, Abe Bloom forever, your heart and your skill
Down in the trenches and up on the Hill
You have stood up for us all with your courage and your will,
Working for justice, rights, and freedom.

You have stood up for us all with your courage and your will,
Working for justice, rights, and freedom!

As Abe told them, "if you want to talk to Abe Bloom, you got'ta talk about the war!"

 

Lots of love at this party.
Lots of love at this party.

Thinking of the next 90!
Planning the next 90?

Abe and his family.
Abe and his family.
