Dixie-Doodle 1918

Have you ever whispered "Thankee"
That the Lord made you a Yankee
when you're thinking
o'er the blessings of the day?
There's a patriotic something
gets your heart to bumping,
thumping at the mention
of the good old U.S.A.
Ev'ry drop of blood enlivens
there's no place for pro's or hyphens
when this land of ours
is waked by war's alarms,
And we face the whole creation
as one grand United Nation
when we hear Columbia call:
"To Arms! To Arms!"

Dixie Doodle
you're the land for me
home of the brave
and land of the free,
there is no North or South today
there are no boys in blue or grey
it's just one country
just one cause
'neath the greatest flag that ever was,
The Stars and Stripes of Dixie Doodle
and the good old U.S.A.

Dixie Doodle
you're the land for me
home of the brave
and land of the free,
there is no North or South today
there are no boys in blue or grey
it's just one country
just one cause
'neath the greatest flag that ever was,
The Stars and Stripes of Dixie Doodle
and the good old U.S.A.

Now an honest straight confession
war's not really our profession
but we fight like bear cats
when you force us to,
we don't count the coast and wonder
we made in and give 'em thunder
so they have respect
for old Red, White and Blue.
Then when Uncle Sam is done,
he don't ask land
or don't ask money
he has learned to treat all war
for gain with scorn,
he'll just teach the whole caboodle
how we do in Dixie Doodle
and the land
where true Democracy was born:

Dixie Doodle
you're the land for me
home of the brave
and land of the free,
there is no North or South today
there are no boys in blue or grey
it's just one country
just one cause
'neath the greatest flag that ever was,
The Stars and Stripes of Dixie Doodle
and the good old U.S.A.

Dixie Doodle
you're the land for me
home of the brave
and land of the free,
there is no North or South today
there are no boys in blue or grey
it's just one country
just one cause
'neath the greatest flag that ever was,
The Stars and Stripes of Dixie Doodle
and the good old U.S.A.
