:Land of Franklin, Land of Coolidge — men who stood the test!
:Land of Jefferson and Adams, Dempsey and Ben Turpin, too, 
:Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson — all red, white, and blue!
:Francis Bushman, Charlotte Cushman, and old Edwin Booth. 
:Admiral Dewey, “Lefty” Louie, and “Bambino” Ruth!
:We could go on naming great men, but we have our fears; 
:    this could go on for years! 
:Land of Minsky and Rumshinsky, Land of Donahue, 
:Land of Johnson and Yon Yonson, Land of Ching Ling Foo!"
