George M Cohan was perhaps one of the most patriotic Americans to have ever lived.

God bless him, and I hope that we all can strive to be a tenth as great as he was.

GO THE HAWKS

We're a happy team at Hawthorn
We're the Mighty Fighting Hawks.
We love our Club, and we play to win,
Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn).
Come what may, you'll find us striving
Team work is the thing that talks,
One for all and all for one
Is the way we play at Hawthorn.
We re the Mighty Fighting Hawks.

[ghostwriter]

Sang this in high school chorus...George M Cohen Patriotic Fantasy!

Can't believe this was dropped in 2014. It sounds like something that would be much older.

We're a happy team at Hawthorn
We're the mighty fighting Hawks
We love our club and we play to win
Riding the bumps with a grin at Hawthorn
Come what may you find us striving
Teamwork is the thing that talks
All for one and one for all's the way we play at Hawthorn
We are the mighty fighting Hawks

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 Dixey [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 about a Yankee that's a phoney?)

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

Father's name was Hezikiah
Mother's name was Ann Maria
Yanks through and through
(Red, white and blue)
Father was so Yankee hearted
When the Spanish War was started
He slipped upon his uniform and hopped up on a pony
My mother's mother was a Yankee true
My father's father was a Yankee too
And that's going some
For the Yankees, by gum
(Oh, say can you see
Anything about my pedigree that's phoney

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

We're a happy team at hawthorn,
We're the night fighting Hawks,
We love our club and we play to win,
Riding the bumps with the grin at hawthorn.
Come what may you'll find us striving
Teamwork is the thing that talks,
One for all and one the way we are at hawthorn,
We are the mighty fighting Hawks!

He is a veracious American singer because he didn't sing from his mouth, he sing from heart just for America.

Fun fact, this song was playing on repeat when they murdered Rasputin.

[CaryCotterman]

Pritchard sounds a lot like Cagney, which shows both he and Cagney did a good imitation of Cohan.
