You took a notion
to fly across the ocean
Our American Girl,
Sailing along thru the sky,
ready to do or to die,
Fighting your way in the dark,
American Joan of Arc:

Ev'rybody thinks you're wonderful
Our American girl,
Ev'ryone just loves you,
Our American girl,
Flying across the ocean blue,
with a nation praying for you,
The Hall of Fame will glorify your name,
Our American girl.

Ev'rybody thinks you're wonderful
Our American girl,
Ev'ryone just loves you,
Our American girl,
Flying across the ocean blue,
with a nation praying for you,
The Hall of Fame will glorify your name,
Our American girl.

You are a sample,
a shining example
Our American Girl,
Making a perilous test,
taking a chance for the best,
you had the nerve to come thru
and show what our women can do:

Ev'rybody thinks you're wonderful
Our American girl,
Ev'ryone just loves you,
Our American girl,
Flying across the ocean blue,
with a nation praying for you,
The Hall of Fame will glorify your name,
Our American girl.

Ev'rybody thinks you're wonderful
Our American girl,
Ev'ryone just loves you,
Our American girl,
Flying across the ocean blue,
with a nation praying for you,
The Hall of Fame will glorify your name,
Our American girl.
