[DOLLY]

I stand for motherhood, America

And a hot lunch for orphans

Take off your hat, sir

Betsey 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!

[IRENE]

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!

[IRENE, MINNIE & DOLLY]

(I stand for)

Alamo!(Motherhood, America)

Remember the Alamo!(And a hot lunch for orphans)

I regret that I have one life to give(Take off your hat, sir)

For my country(Betsey Ross's flag is passing)

In the words of Lincoln:(Do you see him)

"One if by land and two if by sea"(On the hill at Gettysburg)

"Yes Dad, I chopped that cherry tree down"('Neath that great triumphal arch?)

O, Stonewall Jackson!(If you)

Glory! Glory!(See him trampling through that)

Hallelujah!(Grapes of wrath)

Stand up and march march

Four score and seven years ago!

(March, March, March!)

To form a more perfect union!

(March, March!)

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

(March, March, March!)
