That Family Called the U.S.A.

Our land of liberty is one big family,
Fearless, staunch and true,
But ev're Yankee when he grows cranky
Always gets Red White and Blue.
When good old Uncle Sam
Got mixed up in that jam,
He just spoke to all,
His relatives by dozens,
Nephews, brothers, cousins,
And forty-nine states answered his call,
Each state has paid a price,
Each made some sacrifice.

"Mississippi" gave up her son "Georgia"
Cousin "Carolin" sold vict'ry bonds
Aunt "Virginia's" rehearsing
"Miss Ouri" Red Cross nursing
So had Uncle "Oregon"
"Dela Ware" said the "Maine" thing was vict'ry
And Iowa" debt that I must pay
The world was now is won
They stuck and licked the Hun
That fam'ly called the U.S.A.

"Louisiana" sowed and little "Ida hood",
Barley, wheat and oats,
"New York" had taken to saving bacon
Just to get Kaiser Bill's goat
Young "Minnesota" vowed
To milk "New Jersey" cows,
For democracy,
The other states all signed up,
Ev'ry one was lined up,
In looking 'round I said there's "Ten I see",
They made the Kaiser Yell
And sent him straight to well.
