Lyrics
Since Seventeen-seventy- six we’re free
And free we shall remain
And any attack by any foe will always be in vain
We are proud that all thru history
We’ve always been and we’ll always be
Mister and Mrs. America
To sing this glad refrain, Oh!
Chorus:
Gee, isn’t it great to be an American
And live in a land that’s free
A land of Democracy
Gee, isn’t it great to know that our
Uncle Sam is standing for the right
And backing it up with might
Then we’ll sing “Long live America!”
And with heart and soul we’ll say
Oh, gee, isn’t it great to be and American
And live in the U. S. A.
Patter:
Hear the hustle and the bustle
Shee united brain and muscle
Of a working crew a hundred million strong
We’re building planes and ships and tanks
To show the world the fighting Yanks
Will ever be triumphant over wrong
Supreme on land and sea and on the wing
A thousand years from now you’ll hear us sing, Oh!
