Motherhood - Jerry Herman

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!
