Yankee Boy

I wrote a song to celebrate the day. During the week, we may be schleppers. Stitchers! But today, on the fourth day of July...

I'm gonna be

A Yankee boy

My Uncle Sammy's pride and joy

I'll be a star-spangled guy

Love apple pie

Fourth of July

Be so darn proud I'll cry

You betcha!

And

I think it's grand

To hear the Navy band

When they start to play

"Oh, say can you see

A Yankee boy -"

That's me!

This brand new world here

Has taught me one thing:

They're always looking for reasons to sing!

So many ways

Music here plays

Start with the crazy

Amount of holidays they got here!

I want to write an American song

And get America to sing along

Fourth of July and Christmas

And Easter

Maybe all three

And nothing in a minor key!

Sing, David!

I'm gonna...

Be

I'm gonna be

A Yankee boy

A Yankee boy

My Uncle Sammy's pride and joy

My Uncle Sammy's pride and joy

I'll be a star-spangled guy

Yes, very!

Love applie pie

And cherry

Fourth of July

I'll be so proud I'll cry

Be so darn proud I'll cry

Hip-hip hooray

Hip-hip hooray

{Ben and David}

U.S. of A

United States of A

We've come a long, long way

To where a bum from a slum can come over the sea

To where a bum from a slum can come over the sea

And with pluck

And some luck

Look - he's Andrew Carnegie!

He's Andrew Carnegie!

Oh, beautiful for...

Dum da dum

For Yankee boys...

For Yankee boys...

For Yankee boys...

And girls!

Like me!
