An Exuberant Yankee

Gol darn

The nations uv the earth!

We kin wallop

Every mother’s son uv ‘em,

Single file or the hull bunch!

We

Wuz born

Tur kick up a row

An’ settle it in our own way.

Keep off, Europe,

An’ all other Eupes; way off!

We

Are all wool an’ two yards wide.

We’ve got Dewey’s here

To burn!

See?

Yankee Doodle,

Young America,

Washington,

Red, white and blue

Buffalo Bill,

J.L.S.,

Whiskers,

Old Glory,

Hi!

We

Are pigs,

But

Look out over thire,

Every time we grunt

Sumpthin’ drops! See?

Why, durn my skin,

We

Kin lick you with one hand

An’ drink

Coffee with the other!

Paste this in your

Bunnit,

Kaiser Bill;

Wow!
