U.S.A. for Mine Verse: I’ve travelled all around this world, I’ve sailed on ev’ry sea. I’ve been to England, Germany, which is so grand to see. But there was only one place on this earth I’d call my own. Now that’s the place you all know well, now listen and I’ll tell: Refrain: Good Old U.S.A. for mine, that’s the land I love. Old Uncle Sammy, he’s all the candy just as true as stars above. You can have your gay Paree, all your London Town, But I am happy ‘cause I’m a Yankee, this good old U.S.A. for mine. Verse: Now there is one old Chicago town, where baseball is renowned, And then we have St. Louis dear, for good old Budweiser. For fighters California, where they like Jeffries style, And then we have our New York town, with her dear Coney Isle. Refrain
