Jerry Herman - Motherhood lyrics

[DOLLY] I stand for Motherhood America And a hot lunch for orphans Take off your hat, sir Betsy Ross' flag is pa**ing Do you see him On the hill at Gettysburg 'Neath that great triumphal arch? If you see him as he's trampling through the grapes of wrath Stand up and march, march, march! [IRENE] I stand for motherhood America And a hot lunch for orphans Take off your hat, sir There's a tear-stained eagle pa**ing Do you see him On the bridge at Waterloo 'Neath that great triumphal arch? If you hear him singing "Dixie" in the sugar cane Stand up and march, march, march! [DOLLY] Alamo! Remember the Alamo! I regret that I've one life to give For my country In the words of Lincoln One by land and two if by sea Yes, Dad, I chopped that cherry tree down O, Stonewall Jackson Glory Glory Hallelujah! [IRENE & MINNIE] I stand for motherhood America And a hot lunch for orphans Take off your hat, sir While your country's flag is pa**ing Do you see him On the field at Gettysburg 'Neath that great triumphal arch If you see him as he's trampling through the grapes of wrath [ALL] Stand up and march, march- [IRENE, spoken] Four score and seven years ago! [ALL] March, march- [MINNIE, spoken] To form a more perfect union! [ALL] March, march- [DOLLY, spoken] Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! [ALL] March, march, march!
