All American

Music and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley

Girl: The Chocolate Box is proud to present Miss Ginnie Romain!

Ginnie is the American version of Evie, a remarkable Marilyn Monroe breathy sound-alike. She sings:

My mother said I never should
Play in a Cadillac in the wood.
If I did she would say
You'll only be sorry on Labor Day.

I'm an all American female
From an all American town.
I'm from all American Main Street, U.S.A.
I eat all American popcorn,
I chew all American gum,
Which is why I talk this
All American way.

I watch all American movies
Half the all American night
On my all American television screen.
And like all American females
I've an all American dream
To become an all American movie queen.

My all American papa comes from Poland.
He came here from Warsaw with my mom.
She lives all alone because my Papa is
An eighteen carat all American bum.

I get all American goosebumps
When I hear the Stars and Stripes;
I'm an all American niece of Uncle Sam.
And I think Mr. Eisenhower
Is absolutely swell. . .

(Musical Director taps his baton)

Oh really! Well, I think that Mr. Kennedy
Is absolutely swell.
What a lucky all American girl I am!

I consider myself very fortunate to be a citizen of the United States of America.
And what is more, I support the Fifth Amendment!
Whatever it is! Rah! Rah! America!
