Songs for The Fourth? Nominees for your print-out songbook
#1
This actually started when a friend and I regularly visit Times Square and stand in front of the George M Cohan statue. I printed out the lyrics to his songs and we sing them in front of the statue.
(it's easy to print up extra copies to hand out to those merely gawking at us. Yes, everyone sings along)

So here's one for your Fourth of July songbook.
Any suggestions? (Celebrating America is okay, especially aspirational stuff. Remember MLK Day and Juneteenth are national Holidays)

Yankee Doodle Boy
by George m Cohan



(EDITED)

I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am the Yankee Doodle boy

Father's name was Hezikiah
Mother's name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through
(Red, white and blue)

Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish War was started
He slipped upon his uniform
And hopped up on a pony

My mother's mother was a Yankee true
My father's father was a Yankee too
And that's going some
For the Yankees, by gum

I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
Born on the Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am the Yankee Doodle boy
