"You're A Grand Old Flag!"
.
Dedicated to all those Americans who feel that the "Stars and Stripes", is their flag and that the only way it can be truly disgraced is through a personal act, not worthy of it!
.
To the tune composed by George M. Cohan.
.
"You're A Grand Old Flag!".
When I see our flag a-waving.
there's no finer sight
I'm craving,
when I listen to it snapping
as it waves high on its stand.
Any song by George M. Cohan,
starts my patriotic juices flowing,
and I don't care
who's a knowin',
that I think it sounds, so grand!
Way down South on the Suwanee River,
sets, my southern heart a-quiver,
all comrades, hither.
Hurrah! Hurrah! come join our merry throng, that's calling all Yanks, by dang!
ev'ry one!
Red, white, and blue,
honest and true!,
boy!
you're a fine old rag!
Chorus:
You're my own true flag,
In "Old Glory", I'm clad,
may I never,
bring disgrace, on you!
You're the center of,
all the things I love,
the road that,
with freedom, was paved.
There are some who view,
your bold,
red, white, and blue,
with great envy,
or outright rage.
But, for we,
who take great pride in thee,
you shall always,
wave, center stage!
2.
I, a cranky,
trifle lanky,
rootin' tootin',
gosh-darn Yankee.
I'm mighty taken
with that old flag,
It flies where ere
I am!
Though not given much to boasting,
your many virtues I am toasting,
there is nothing that you lack,
when fair winds,
take up your slack!
We, have an army of
diverse cultures!
They would use all their might in,
any calling, for fighting!
What say!
What say!
You G.I's of today!
Navy and Air-force too!
Candy stripe, golden star!
Red, white, and blue,
hurrah! for you,
Uncle Sam has,
a grand old flag!
You're my own true flag,
in, "Old Glory", I'm clad.
may I never,
bring disgrace, on you!
You're the center of.
all the things I love,
the road that,
with freedom, was paved!
There are some who view,
your bold,
red, white, and blue,
with great envy,
or outright rage.
But, for we, who take,
great pride in thee.
You shall always wave center stage!
