DOLLY I know what I stand for! Important things! Like...like... Motherhood, America, And a hot lunch for orphans Take off your hat, sir While your country's flag is passing 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!
MRS. MOLLOY I stand for motherhood, America, And a hot lunch for orphans Take off your hat, sir There's a tear-stained eagle passing Do you see him On the field at Waterloo 'Neath that great triumphal arch?
MRS. MOLLOY & MIANIE If you hear him singing Dixie in the sugar cane Stand up and march, march, march!
(The ladies are singing while Dolly is singing)
I stand for motherhood, America, And a hot lunch for orphans Take off your hat, sir While your country's Flag is passing Do you see him On the field at Waterloo 'Neath that great triumphal arch If you see him as he's Trampling through the Grapes of wrath
DOLLY Alamo! Remember the Alamo! I regret that I've one Life to give for my Country In the words of Lincoln One if by land And two if by sea Yes Dad I chopped That cherry tree down
DOLLY, MRS. MOLLOY, & MINNIE Stand up and march march march O, Stonewall Jackson Glory, glory, hallelujah
MRS. MOLLOY Four score and seven years ago!
ALL March, March, March
DOLLY Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
ALL March, March, March!
