Babes in Arms Page #9

...so I want you to teach them.

Show them how.

Yeah?

What do you say?

- All right, Harry.

- I knew you would.

You run home and tell Florrie

all about it. And listen...

...you and she are having dinner

with me tonight, just like old times.

Joe, by the way, there's somebody

in the show that you know.

Who?

- Mickey.

- Mickey.

Now, now, now, don't get excited.

Just keep cool. The kid is swell.

No fooling, he's immense,

but he needs you, Joe.

He needs you more than anything

in the world.

All right, call your rehearsal.

I'll make a trouper out of him.

A real trouper.

Give my love to Florrie.

Gee, I didn't think you were gonna

be able to make it.

What a man. Thanks, Mr. Maddox.

You see, Mickey, I've loved your father

much longer than you have.

I'm gonna make good for him too.

- You'll make good for a lot of people.

- Who?

For the kids who never had a chance.

For the kids a lot of wiseacres are telling...

...there is no such thing

as an American dream.

Well, those kids have got

their eyes on you.

Because you're being

given your chance...

...and by the bones of Bacchus,

you'd better make good.

Gee, it's bigger than just a show.

Say, it's everybody in the country.

Look at that kid, will you?

Hi there, neighbor

Going my way?

East or west on the Lincoln Highway

Hi there, Yankee

Give out with a great big thankee

You're in God's country

Where the grass is greener

And timber's taller

The mountains bigger

And troubles smaller

Hi there, chappy

Look over the seas be happy

You're in God's country

A hundred million rooters can't be wrong

So give a hand

Give a hand

Give a cheer for your land

Where smiles are broader

And freedom's greater

Where every man is his own dictator

Hi there, Yankee

Give out with a great big thankee

You're in God's

God's country

- Skies bluer

- God's country

- Hearts truer

- God's country

All of you who think

It's so much easier to give in

Count your many blessings

For this wondrous land

We live in

Love its highways

Love its alleys

lts Rocky Mountains and ruby valleys

Hi there, neighbor

You don't need a sword or saber

You're in God's country

We've got no duce

We've got no Fhrer

But we've got Garbo and Norma Shearer

- Got no goosestep

- But we the got a Suzie Q step

Here in God's country

A hundred million rooters can't be wrong

- So give a hand

- Give a smile

- Give a cheer

- For your land

We've got Nelson Eddy, lots of others

We've got three of the four Marx brothers

Hi there, Yankee

Give out with a great big thankee

You're in God's

God's country

- Grass greener

- Trees taller

- Mountains bigger

- Troubles smaller

- Sun brighter

- Skies bluer

- Loads lighter

- Hearts truer

Here we go a-marching

A bunch of happy residents

Here we go a-marching

The nation's future presidents

Hail to the chief

He's a very charming fellow

With a hi

With a ho

Hail to the chief

He's a most disarming fellow

Stand up my friends and shout hooray

- Hooray

- Hooray

- Hooray

- Hooray

My friends, my friends

It's been a lovely day

I signed a bill declaring war

On bugs in Carolina

I refereed a game of chess

Between Japan and China

I rang a bell that launched a ship

That sunk off Asia Minor

My friends, it's been a lovely day

My day, my day

Has been a lovely day

I breakfasted in Idaho

Then lunched in Indiana

I opened up a Turkish bath

In Helena, Montana

I launched a lovely Ferris wheel

And then dined in Louisiana

My day has been a lovely day

- It's been a lovely day

- It's been a lovely day

- Here in the U.S.A.

- Here in the U.S.A.

- What about Romania?

- India?

- And France?

- I can only say one thing

- What?

- Dance

What about the tepee girls

Who haven't got a chance?

I can only say to you

- What?

- Dance

- What about Pango Pango?

- Teach them to do the tango

- What of Brazilian mocha?

- It's better if you polka

- What about our wages when we dig?

- Brother, teach them to jig

- What about a pension for ma and pa?

- What about a pension for Artie Shaw?

What about the budget?

Relief? Finance?

- Gentlemen

- What?

Come on, students

Just dance, just dance

Wherever freedom's banners are unfurled

Sing this song from our hearts

To the hearts of the world

We send our greetings to friendly nations

We may be Yanks but we're no relations

Drop your sabers

We're all gonna be good neighbors

Here in God's

God's country
