DAN McGANN AND UNCLE SAM

Said Dan McGann to a foreign imah who worked at the self-same bench “Let me tell you this,” and for emphasis, he flourished a monkey wrench “Don’t talk’to me of this bourjoissee, don’t open your mouth to Of your socialists or your anarchists, don’t mention the bolshe* veek For iVe heard enough of this foreign stuff, I’m sick as a man cun be Of the speech of hate, and I’m tellin’ you straight that this is the land for me!’’ “If you want to brag, just take this flag, an’ boast of its field An’ dead an’ the blood they shed for the peace of the likes of you. I’ll hear no .more,’’ and he waived once more his wrench in a forceful way, - , , , _ , ... j “O’ the cunning ejeed of some Russian breed. I stand for the U. S A.! I’m done with your fads, and your wild-eyed lads, don’t flourish your flag o’ red Where I can see, or at night there’ll be tall candles round your bed. “So tip your hat to a flag like that! Thank God for its stripes and stars! , „ Thank God you're here where the roads are clear, away from your kings and czars. . , I can’t just say what I feel today, for I’m not a talkin man. But first an' last, I am standin’ fast for all that’s American. So don’t you speak of the bolsheveek, it’s sick of that stuff I am, One God ono flag is the creed I brag! I’m boostin for Uncle Sam ” • —HOLYOKE TRANSCRIPT.
