Motherhood

Lyrics

[DOLLY] 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! [IRENE] 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 that great triumphal arch? If you hear him singing Dixie in the sugar cane Stand up and march, march, march! [IRENE & MINNIE, DOLLY] I stand for motherhood America, and a (Alamo! Remember the) Hot lunch for orphans (Alamo!) Take off your hat, (Oh, I regret that I've) Sir (One life to give) Betsey Ross's flag is passing (For my country) Do you see him (In the words of Lincoln:) On the hill at ("One if by land and) Getty'sburg (Two if by sea.") 'Neath that great ("Yes Dad, I chopped) Triumphal arch? (That cherry tree down.") O, Stonewall Jackson! If you See him as he's (Glory) Trampling through the (Glory) Grapes of wrath (Hallelujah) [DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE] Stand up and march, march [IRENE, spoken] Four score and seven years ago! [DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE] March, March, March [MINNIE, spoken] To form a, more perfect, union! [DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE] March, March [DOLLY, spoken] Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! [DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE] March, March, March!
