"Here Come the Monkees"

A little over a year ago, I was thinking about the song that the Monkees sing in "Here Come the Monkees" in order to help Vanessa Russell study for her history test.  I think the words are:

When Patrick Henry was in Virginia
He made a speech we all recall
He said to the people of a Charlotte town,
"United we stand, divided we fall"

The melody is something like:

What I realized back in March last year is that "divided we fall" is sung to a descending phrase (G G Gb F Eb), musically illustrating that "fall[ing]."  One of the tune's two accidentals occurs in the same phrase, which gives a sense of dissidence.  In the opposite sort of illustration, almost all of "United we stand" is sung to the same pitch (Eb).
