Lyrics
I’d like to form a League of Nations
Without any obligations
Composed of girls
And each a beautiful one
‘Twould be a very novel treaty
Represented by a sweetie
From each and every country under the sun
Don’t think I’m asking for your kind applause
But I think a Yankee girl
Should be it’s president because
Chorus
Her eyes are a little bit brighter
Her teeth are a little bit whiter
She’s just a bit more lively
Which makes her more attractive
The rest are not as active
At a party or ball
Her smile is a little bit sweeter
Her style is a little bit neater
And from her toes up to her knees
The ankle gazer sees she’s
Got the leg of Nations
My Girl of the U. S. A.
