Yankee Boy

[Ben, spoken]
I wrote a song to celebrate the day. During the week, we may be schleppers. Stitchers! But today, on the fourth day of July...

[sung]
I'm gonna be
A Yankee boy
My Uncle Sammy's pride and joy
I'll be a star-spangled guy
Love apple pie
Fourth of July
Be so darn proud I'll cry
You betcha!

And
I think it's grand
To hear the Navy band
When they start to play
"Oh, say can you see
A Yankee boy -"
That's me!

This brand new world here
Has taught me one thing:
They're always looking for reasons to sing!
So many ways
Music here plays
Start with the crazy
Amount of holidays they got here!

I want to write an Amеrican song
And get America to sing along
Fourth of July and Christmas
And Easter
Maybе all three
And nothing in a minor key!

[spoken]
Sing, David!

[Ben, David, Both]
I'm gonna...
Be
I'm gonna be
A Yankee boy
A Yankee boy
My Uncle Sammy's pride and joy
My Uncle Sammy's pride and joy
I'll be a star-spangled guy
Yes, very!
Love applie pie
And cherry
Fourth of July
I'll be so proud I'll cry
Be so darn proud I'll cry

Hip-hip hooray

[Ben, David, Bella, and Quartet]
We've come a long, long way

[Ben]
To where a bum from a slum can come over the sea

[Bella, David, and Quartet]
To where a bum from a slum can come over the sea

[Ben]
And with pluck
And some luck
Look - he's Andrew Carnegie!

[Bella, David, and Quartet]
He's Andrew Carnegie!

[Ben]
Oh, beautiful for...
Dum da dum
For Yankee boys...

[David]
For Yankee boys...

[Quartet]
For Yankee boys...

[Bella]
And girls!

[All]
Like me!
