["Words and music by E. Ray Goetz and Irving Berlin".]



[1st verse:]

Girlie, cuddle near me

Girlie, won't you hear me?

I've been feeling blue

Ring the final curtain

For I'm more than certain

I'm in love with you

Like my Yankee Father

Girlie, I would rather die than prove untrue

Fearless, undenying, Yankee never dying

Love I bear for you



[chorus:]

Red, White and Blue, love

Real all for you, love

All through and through, love

Real Yankee Doodle Doo, love

Honest and true love

I bring to you, love

Old Kentucky, Alabama

Mississippi, Lou'siana

Yankee love



[2nd verse:]

Girlie, flags are waving

My poor heart's behaving

Like a house on fire

Church-bells gayly ringing

Mean I'll soon be bringing

Home my heart's desire

Thoughts of care or sorrow

Will be dead tomorrow when you wear my ring

Ere the morn arouses

From the tops of houses

To the world I'll sing
