I Want A Patriotic Girl 1911

In all my travels to foreign lands,
I've met some dandy girls,
but they're not in it with Uncle Sam's
Yankee Doodle Pearls.
Their eyes are gleaming
just like the stars
that's in that grand old flag
and their hearts beat fond and true
for that old Red, White and Blue.

I want a patriotic girl,
a girl from the U.S.A.
There are dandy girls in Foreign climes
and when I see that flag unfurl
I'm yearning for a Yankee girl
and if she loves that grand old flag
my heart will be in a whirl,
if she loves her Uncle Sam
she can have my heart and hand,
for I want a patriotic girl.

I want a patriotic girl,
a girl from the U.S.A.
There are dandy girls in Foreign climes
and when I see that flag unfurl
I'm yearning for a Yankee girl
and if she loves that grand old flag
my heart will be in a whirl,
if she loves her Uncle Sam
she can have my heart and hand,
for I want a patriotic girl.

Sometimes I'm dreaming of gay Paree,
and all those chic French girls,
and when in London all I could see
was blue eyed English Pearls.
But now I'm happy,
I've found my dream,
she's from the U.S.A.
and our wedding march will be
Stars and Stripes and Liberty.

I want a patriotic girl,
a girl from the U.S.A.
There are dandy girls in Foreign climes
and when I see that flag unfurl
I'm yearning for a Yankee girl
and if she loves that grand old flag
my heart will be in a whirl,
if she loves her Uncle Sam
she can have my heart and hand,
for I want a patriotic girl.

I want a patriotic girl,
a girl from the U.S.A.
There are dandy girls in Foreign climes
and when I see that flag unfurl
I'm yearning for a Yankee girl
and if she loves that grand old flag
my heart will be in a whirl,
if she loves her Uncle Sam
she can have my heart and hand,
for I want a patriotic girl.
