Face the Music movie - Two Cheers Instead Of Three lyrics

rate me

Song by Irving Berlin<br /><br>

[Verse:]<br>

It's smart to be thrifty when times are so bad<br>

Let's be patriotic, but let's not go mad<br>

We must cheer the colors we prize<br>

So here's what I strongly advise<br>

<br>

[Refrain:]<br>

We'll just have two cheers instead of three<br>

For the land of the brave and the free<br>

<br>

Instead of three cheers, we'll just have two<br>

For the red and the white and the blue<br>

<br>

So when we cheer the stars and stripes here's what we'll do<br>

We'll cheer the red and cheer the white but not the blue<br>

<br>

And just have two cheers instead of three<br>

For the land of the brave and the free<br>

<br>

[Patter:]<br>

Why give them three cheers when two will more than do?<br>

If there must be cheers then let there just be two<br>

And the speeches that you make to Uncle Sam<br>

Cut 'em down to "Unaccustomed as I am..."<br>

<br>
