Subject(s): Cities; Love; Pride; Urban Life; Self-esteem; Self-respect
O Washington, the beautiful, our city glorious;
Our love and pride are justified; we'd keep you ever thus.
Your granite walls, your marble halls are wonderful to see,
Cathedral spires, your altar fires, inspire fidelity.
Your children homage pay to you, homage you've justly won;
Salute the red, white, the blue.
Salute our Washington!
