Lyrics:

Patriotism has gone out of fashion
We seem to think our patriotic days are dead
We used to sing of our homeland with passion
But now we seem to shy away from it instead
I think it's time to hit the nail right on the head

[Refrain:]
This is a great country, a great country
So let's shout it clear and loud

Take a look in your hist'ry book
And you'll see why we should be proud

Hats off to America
The home of the free and the brave

If this is flag waving, flag waving
Do you know of a better flag to wave?


Writer Irving Berlin
