"And If I Had A Flag I'd Hang Me Flag Out"

As I drove past this Nampa house and saw all these flags a flying, the above old song lyric popped in my head. It is from a song titled "Thank You Very Much," from the musical Scrooge. I do not recall ever seeing the musical but I have had a little bit of that song in my memory banks for a long time. The following verse is from where I remembered a portion. (The part I remembered in bold.)

Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me
I may sound Double-Dutch
But my delight is such
I feel as if a losing war's been won for me
And if I had a flag I'd hang me flag out
To add a sort of final victory touch
But since I left me flag at home
I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much!

Anyway, I do not know if these assorted flags, other than our U.S. flag, have any specific meaning or represent something. Perhaps they were just to gather attention, if that is the case then they have succeeded!
