Uncle Sam’s Right Arm.
Ten girls in white sing, air, “Annie Laurie”.
1.
When war clouds dim the sunshine
And shadow all the land,
When our country goes to battle
With foes on every hand,
’Tis then the call comes clear
To loyal hearts and true
To lay down their lives and fortunes
For our own red, white and blue.
2.
Our lovely starry banner
Defeat must never know,
For it stands for truth and freedom
Where’er its colors blow.
Then pledge your faith anew
A vow to Liberty,
Which shall never cease to bless us
’Neath the banner of the free.
Enter Uncle Sam, a boy dressed in usual costume.He stands in center of stage while girlswho sang group themselves at back of stage.
Uncle Sam:
I am America’s Uncle Sam,
Democracy’s pioneer.
I have sent a message across the sea
That other lands may hear;
And there comes to us now a call for aid
For her cause has suffered harm,
And Democracy turns for protection now
To your Uncle Sam’s strong right arm.
And I—in turn—am asking you
What help you will give to me,
And what will you do to make the world
Safe for Democracy.
A splendid army you’ve given me
But the fight has just
...
