England boasts her sunny skies,

Her thriving industries.
Her lanes of June are sweetly fair
Worldwide she filings her gates,
But still for that she can't compare
With our United States.

Her splendid river Seine;
Her glorious wide-spreading farms
Her cellars of Champagne.
HE walls are decked with treas

Recalling earlier dates.
But still for that she can't compare

In Spain the senoritas gay,
Tis true. hewitching are,
And serenades fond lovers play
To them on the guitar.
The nights are sweet with music
there,
Some charms each day awaits.
But still for that she can't compare
With our United States.
