Hello Dolly Soundtrack Motherhood Lyrics

Motherhood Lyrics

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!
