Motherhood

I stand for
Motherhood
America
And a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
Betsy Ross' flag is passing
Do you see him
On the hill at Gettysburg
'Neath that great triumphal arch
If you see him as he’s trampling through the grapes of wrath
Stand up and march, march, march!
I stand for motherhood
America
And a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
There’s a tear-stained eagle passing
Do you see him
On the bridge at Waterloo
'Neath that great triumphal arch?
If you hear him singing «Dixie» in the sugar cane
Stand up and march, march, march!
Alamo!
Remember the Alamo!
I regret that I’ve one life to give
For my country
In the words of Lincoln
One by land and two if by sea
Yes, Dad, I chopped that cherry tree down
O, Stonewall Jackson
Glory
Glory
Hallelujah!
I stand for motherhood
America
And a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
While your country’s flag is passing
Do you see him
On the field at Gettysburg
'Neath that great triumphal arch
If you see him as he’s trampling through the grapes of wrath
Stand up and march, march-
Four score and seven years ago!
March, march-
To form a more perfect union!
March, march-
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
March, march, march!
