Motherhood
I stand for motherhood
America, and a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
Betsy Ross's 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
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 the great triumphal arch
If you hear him singing "Dixie"
In the sugarcane
Stand up and march, march, march
(I stand for motherhood) Alamo
(America, and a hot lunch for orphans) Remember the Alamo
(Take off your hat, sir) Oh, I regret that I've one life
(Betsy Ross's flag is passing) To give for my country
(Do you see her) In the words of Lincoln
(On the hill at Gettysburg) "One if by land and
('Neath that great triumphal arch) two if by sea"
Yes, Dad, I chopped that cherry tree down
Oh, Stonewall Jackson
(If you see him as he's trampling) Glory, glory
(Through the grapes of wrath) Hallelujah
(Stand up and march, march)
Four score and seven years ago
(March, march)
To form a more perfect union
(March, march)
Damn the torpedoes
Full speed ahead!
(March, march, march)
America, and a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
Betsy Ross's 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
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 the great triumphal arch
If you hear him singing "Dixie"
In the sugarcane
Stand up and march, march, march
(I stand for motherhood) Alamo
(America, and a hot lunch for orphans) Remember the Alamo
(Take off your hat, sir) Oh, I regret that I've one life
(Betsy Ross's flag is passing) To give for my country
(Do you see her) In the words of Lincoln
(On the hill at Gettysburg) "One if by land and
('Neath that great triumphal arch) two if by sea"
Yes, Dad, I chopped that cherry tree down
Oh, Stonewall Jackson
(If you see him as he's trampling) Glory, glory
(Through the grapes of wrath) Hallelujah
(Stand up and march, march)
Four score and seven years ago
(March, march)
To form a more perfect union
(March, march)
Damn the torpedoes
Full speed ahead!
(March, march, march)
