July 4th Show. Yankee Doodle/All For The Best lyrics

[Marissa]

Yankee Doodle Boy

I'm the kid that's all the candy, I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, I'm glad I am, so's Uncle Sam. I'm a real live Yankee Doodle, made my name and fame and boodle, just like Mister Doodle did, by riding on a pony.

I love to listen to the Dixie strain, "I long to see the girl I left behind me;" and that ain't a josh, she's a Yankee, by gosh.

Oh, say can you see, anything thing about a Yankee that's a phony?

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, a Yankee Doodle, do or die; a real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the Fourth of July. I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, she's my Yankee Doodle joy. Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies; I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, she's my Yankee Doodle joy. Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies; I am a Yankee Doodle. I am the Yankee Doodle Boy.

All For The Best

Antonio: When you feel sad or under a curse Your life is bad your prospects are worse Your wife is sighing, crying and your olive tree is dying Temples are graying and teeth are decaying And creditors weighing your purse Your mood and your robe are both a deep blue You'd bet that Job had nothing on you Don't forget that when you go to heaven you'll be blessed Yes it's all for the best!


Kevin, Zach and Chris: Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please, richer than the bees are in honey Never growing old, never feeling cold, pulling pots of gold from thin air The best in every town, best at shaking down, best at making mountains of money They can't take it with them But what do they care? They get the center of the meat, cushions on their seat, houses on a street where it's sunny Summers at the sea, winters warm and free, all of this and we get the rest But who is the land for, the sun and the sand for You guessed it's all for the best

(Fast part and slow part are sung together twice. Antonio and Gary sing the part that Antonio sang at the top of the song.)

(And then)

All: You guessed it's all for the…..
Antonio: You must never be distressed.
All: Yes, it's all for the…
Zach: All your wrongs will be redressed.
All: Yes, it's all for the….
Kevin: Someone's got to be oppressed!

All: Yes, it's all for the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
