AMERICAN ANALIZATION!
OR, ENGLISH CHANGE FOR AMERICAN NOTES.
[_]
Sung by the late Mr. W. H. Williams with unbounded applause at Sadler's Wells Theatre, &c. Air—Analization.
What is America made of?
An over grown nation,
Black and White population,
Down East, and Far West,
And getting the best—
Of high pressure engines, one hundred horse power,
And go a-head Railroads, sixty miles in an hour,
And such is America made of!
What is the Congress made of?
Of the President's Chair,
And a Message each year,
Of votes and shin plasters,
And all of them masters—
Of Washington's glories a great deal to say,
General Jackson, Old Hickory, and five dollars a day,
Such is the Congress made of!
An over grown nation,
Black and White population,
Down East, and Far West,
And getting the best—
208
And go a-head Railroads, sixty miles in an hour,
And such is America made of!
What is the Congress made of?
Of the President's Chair,
And a Message each year,
Of votes and shin plasters,
And all of them masters—
Of Washington's glories a great deal to say,
General Jackson, Old Hickory, and five dollars a day,
Such is the Congress made of!
What are the Yankees made of?
Of Multiplication,
And close calculation—
I reckon, I guess,
And take nothing less.
A New England that 'gainst our Old England can't stand—
Uncle Sam, Cousin Jonathan, and Gin Slings at command.
Spoken.—Oh, yes! Not forgetting Mint Juleps!
And such are the Yankees made of!
Of Multiplication,
And close calculation—
I reckon, I guess,
And take nothing less.
A New England that 'gainst our Old England can't stand—
Uncle Sam, Cousin Jonathan, and Gin Slings at command.
Spoken.—Oh, yes! Not forgetting Mint Juleps!
And such are the Yankees made of!
What are Kentuckians made of?
Half horse, half alligator,
And no beat in Natur?
Raccons and Oppossums,
Bears very far West,
And rifles the longest,
If they're not the best!
A touch of the Earthquake, the Great Sea Snake's glories,
And Old Colonel Crockett's tarnation long stories!
And such are Kentuckians made of!
Half horse, half alligator,
And no beat in Natur?
Raccons and Oppossums,
Bears very far West,
And rifles the longest,
If they're not the best!
A touch of the Earthquake, the Great Sea Snake's glories,
And Old Colonel Crockett's tarnation long stories!
And such are Kentuckians made of!
What are the Yankee Girls made of?
Of cruel sweet smiles,
To cheer Jonathan's toils,
Of Didos, and shines,
And grace to the Nines,
One half apple sarse, t'other half pure molasses,
The New World 'twould stump to find more real jam lasses—
And such are the Yankee Girls made of!
Of cruel sweet smiles,
To cheer Jonathan's toils,
209
And grace to the Nines,
One half apple sarse, t'other half pure molasses,
The New World 'twould stump to find more real jam lasses—
And such are the Yankee Girls made of!
What are the Pedlars made of?
Of clocks made for show,
But not made to go—
Spoken.—Except in the way of trade!
Wooden nutmegs and hams,
Soft sawder and bams,
Of Polyglot Bibles, that no one can read,
Tin Reflectors, and notions, which nobody need,
And such are the Pedlars made of!
Of clocks made for show,
But not made to go—
Spoken.—Except in the way of trade!
Wooden nutmegs and hams,
Soft sawder and bams,
Of Polyglot Bibles, that no one can read,
Tin Reflectors, and notions, which nobody need,
And such are the Pedlars made of!
What are the Temperance Men made of?
Of Teetotalism,
Cold water and schism—
Adam's Ale and Bohea,
Cant and fiddle de dee!
Of windy insides, till they can't longer bear it—
Lantern jaws, herring ribs, and great want of the spirit—
And such are the Temperance Men made of!
Of Teetotalism,
Cold water and schism—
Adam's Ale and Bohea,
Cant and fiddle de dee!
Of windy insides, till they can't longer bear it—
Lantern jaws, herring ribs, and great want of the spirit—
And such are the Temperance Men made of!
What are the Niggers made of?
Piccaninni's from Guinea,
Carolina, Virginny—
Coal Black Rose so nice,
And Rumbo and Rice—
Of wery good massas, grimaces, and bows,
‘Sich a gettin up stairs,’ and jumping ‘Jem Crow!’
And such are the Niggers made of!
Piccaninni's from Guinea,
Carolina, Virginny—
Coal Black Rose so nice,
And Rumbo and Rice—
Of wery good massas, grimaces, and bows,
‘Sich a gettin up stairs,’ and jumping ‘Jem Crow!’
And such are the Niggers made of!
And lastly, friends, what am I made of?
Of truth, said in joke,
But in good nature spoke—
An Old Country friend,
With no wish to offend.
Hoping nought but the ocean may ever divide
Columbia and England—two worlds, Hope and Pride!
And such, friends, is what I am made of!
Of truth, said in joke,
But in good nature spoke—
210
With no wish to offend.
Hoping nought but the ocean may ever divide
Columbia and England—two worlds, Hope and Pride!
And such, friends, is what I am made of!
