Motherhood (from "Hello, Dolly!")

Motherhood - Original London Cast Recordings

I stand for

Motherhood

America

And a hot lunch for orphans

Take off your hat sir

And see Rose's flag is passing

Do you see him

On the hill at Gettysburg

Neath that great triumphal arch

You can see him as he's trampling

Through the grapes of wrath

Stand up and march march march

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

If you hear him singing Dixie in the sugar cane

Stand up and march march march

I stand for motherhood

America

And a hot lunch for orphans

Take off your hat sir

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

Oh Stonewall Jackson

Glory glory hallelujah

Stand up and march march

Four score and seven years ago

March March

Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead

March March March
