| Lyrics: | Words and music by E. Ray Goetz and Irving Berlin".]
[1st verse:]
Girlie, cuddle
near me
Girlie, won't you hear me?
I've been feeling blue
Ring the final
curtain
For I'm more than certain
I'm in love with you
Like my Yankee
Father
Girlie, I would rather die than prove untrue
Fearless, undenying, Yankee never
dying
Love I bear for you
[chorus:]
Red, White and Blue, love
Real all for
you, love
All through and through, love
Real Yankee Doodle Doo, love
Honest and true
love
I bring to you, love
Old Kentucky, Alabama
Mississippi, Lou'siana
Yankee
love
[2nd verse:]
Girlie, flags are waving
My poor heart's behaving
Like
a house on fire
Church-bells gayly ringing
Mean I'll soon be bringing
Home my heart's
desire
Thoughts of care or sorrow
Will be dead tomorrow when you wear my ring
Ere the
morn arouses
From the tops of houses
To the world I'll sing |
