<br>

VERSE<br>

A bunch of Bolsheviks, one day,<br>

Were working out an easy way<br>

To make this hellish world a perfect heaven,<br>

And among that thickly bearded clan<br>

To discuss the five-and-ten-cent plan<br>

Was a pure American girl of thirty-seven.<br>

The leader rose and said to them,<br>

"Is this the flag you love?"<br>

And he waved a scarlet banner to and fro,<br>

To which they all, with great success,<br>

Pronounced the Russian word for "Yes,"<br>

except the American girl, who cried "No."<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>

I still love the red, white and blue,<br>

You may think that I'm funny, but I do,<br>

I cannot understand to what it is owin',<br>

I must be a cross between Betsy Ross and George M. Cohan<br>

To progress I may be a drag,<br>

But the star-spangled banner is my flag.<br>

Because of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Monroe,<br>

Longfellow, Whittier, Bryant and Poe,<br>

Pershing and Lindbergh and Morgan and Mellon<br>

And Amos and Andy too,<br>

I still love the red, white and blue.<br>

<br>

I still love the red, white and blue,<br>

People here think it's crazy, but I do,<br>

We've arraged I should meet that young man Mountbatten<br>

But why should I wait when I got a date with old Manhattan.<br>

Where else could the wild sow an oat<br>

Had that bimbo Columbus missed his boat.<br>

In spite of cyclones and prairie fires, earthquakes, and floods,<br>

Luckies, Chesterfields, Camels and Spuds,<br>

Grifters anf grafters, con men and gunmen<br>

And men I've been married to,<br>

I still love the red, white and blue.<br>
