VERSE 01: Have you ever whispered “Thankee,” that the Lord made you a Yankee/When you’re thinking o’er the blessings of the day?/There’s a patriotic something gets your heart to bumping, thumping at the mention of the good old U.S.A/Ev’ry drop of blood enlivens there’s no place for pro’s or hyphens/When this land of ours is waked by war’s alarms,/And we face the whole creation as one grand united Nation when we hear Columbia call: “To Arms! To Arms!” CHORUS: Dixie Doodle, you’re the land for me,/Home of the brave and land of the free./There is no North nor South today/There are no boys in blue nor gray/It’s just one country, just one cause,/’Neath the greatest flag that ever was,/The Stars and Stripes of Dixie Doodle/And the good old U.S.A. VERSE 02: Now an honest straight confession, war’s not really our profession/But we fight like bear cats when you force us to/We don’t count the cost and wonder we made in and give ‘em thunder so they have respect for old Red, White, and Blue./Then when Uncle Sam is done, he don’t ask land or don’t ask money/He has learned to treat all war for gain with scorn,/He’ll just teach the whole caboodle how we do in Dixie Doodle and the land where true Democracy was born. | |
