COME day we're going to take a few
- minutes off and write a national
anthem. The things we are using or
patriotic occasions are terrible--if thai
be treason make the most of it! Bu
look at America" Old Sammie Smith
started off pretty we'll and ended sanely
enough, but in the middle he had two
bralnstorms. Read over those two mid
die stanzas yourself. Then there's Van
kee Doodle" Everybody thinks he
knows the words Of Yankee Doodle" but
nobody does. Go ahead and recite 1t:
Yankee Doodle came to town
Riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni."
That's not the original Yankee Doodle
at all. Edward Bangs, who flourished
about 1916, is accused Of the thing. Here
are some of the choicest stanzas:
Father and and | wen. down tg team camp.
And there the and boys
As thick as nasty pudding.
CHORUS.
Yankee Doodle keep 1t up.
Yankee Doodle, dandy.
And with the girls be handy.
And there we see thousand men.
As rich Squire David,
And what they wasted every day
l wish It could be saved.
The 'lasses they eat every day
Would keep our house a winter;
They have much that I'll be bound,
They eat whene'er they're a mind to.
And there we see .swhmping gun
As big a log of maple,
Upon n deuced little cart,
A load for fathers cattle.
And every time they shoot It off
II takes a horn Of powder
And makes n noise like fathers gun,
Only a nation louder.
And there was Captain Washington.
And gentlefolks about him;
They say he's grown so tarnal proud
He will not ride without 'em.
The flaming ribbons in his hat
They looked so tearing fine. ah!

To give to my Jsmlma.
