Description:
The Makin's of the U.S.A.<br/><br/>This is an unusual song since it promotes a commercial product. <br/><br/>It stands out for an additional reason: it suggests American soldiers fighting in France were somehow short of tobacco supplies. I never read this in any history book.<br/><br/>Maybe there was a shortage. The song suggests regular folks at home were the ones who should make up for the deficiency. But I always thought a government should supply what is needed by troops deployed overseas. But is tobacco really \

Sousa, won't you write another march,<br/>Yours is just the melody divine.<br/>You may have your William Tell,<br/>And Faust and Lohengrin as well,<br/>But I'll take a Yankee Doodle tune for mine.<br/><br/>Give me the fellow<br/>Who writes the mellow<br/>Contagious strain that's rather yellow.<br/>It may be hashy,<br/>And may be trashy,<br/>But still it's dashy and gets the cashy.<br/>It's really clever<br/>And lasts forever,<br/>You hear it once, forget it never,<br/>For now we are coming to hanky, panky, popular melody days.<br/><br/>That it's the music, there's no doubt of it.<br/>Cut all the cheap cadenzas out of it.<br/>Music to please the gang<br/>With plenty of biff and bang;<br/>Music that all the children hum a bit,<br/>All the composer's glories come of it.<br/>It's so ringing,<br/>That's what is bringing<br/>The popular melody craze.<br/><br/><br/><br/>\")
