Lift the trumpet to thy mouth, America! East and West and North and South, America!
Call us round the dazzling shrine of the starry old ensign,
Holier yet through blood of thine, America! America!
High o'er looking sea and land, America! Trustfully with outheld hand, America!
Thou dost welcome all in quest of thy freedom, peace and rest,
Ev'ry exile is thy guest, America! America!
Thine a universal love, America! Thine the cross and crown thereof, America!
Aid us, then, to sing thy worth: God hath builded, from thy birth,
The first nation of the earth, America! America!

lyrics by Berton Braley
We're marching on, marching on, marching onward to our goal,
Through the dark, through the dawn, bold of heart, and strong of soul.
Alma Mater's sons and daughters, lift your voices strong and clear.
Keep the swinging chorus ringing, so the world will hear.
U-rah-rah-rah Wisconsin! Oh let us shout with faith undaunted.
U-rah-rah-rah Wisconsin! Then let our banners all be flaunted.
For we'll march along together as we hear the music play.
Unafraid of wind or weather, we will fight and win the day.
__We'll march on victorious, oh Varsity, Varsity fair,
__Your name, forever glorious, will hearten us to do and dare.
__We'll march on victorious, the cardinal waving in air,
__And Badgers all, we'll answer to the call, and we'll fight for Wisconsin forever.

lyrics by Edith Willis Linn
From the mountains wreathed and hoary, from the river and the plain,
From the seaboard and the valley, we are marching forth again.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
We are coming, we are coming, as the pilgrims came of yore,
We will rally round Old Glory as our fathers did before.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
With no malice in our bosom, with no hate, no dream of greed,
Where the stricken millions beckon, where the maimed and starving bleed,
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.
__We are marching, marching, marching, in answer to the call
__Of justice for the nations and liberty for all.

(1917) For the Freedom of the World "a wonder song of international appeal" SM AR
lyrics by Edmund Vance Cooke
The trumpets call, our banners all are flying; drums are sounding, hearts are bounding,
We march to save where men are bravely dying, by the tempest tossed and whirled.
Though mothers moan and sweethearts may be sighing, we struggle till the foeman's flag is furled;
For the land which gave us birth, for the peoples of the earth, and the freedom of all the world!
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.
From South and North we sally forth to battle; firm and steady, we are ready!
From West and East till war has ceased its rattle and the foe is backward hurled.
Till man is man and not a tyrant's chattel, till royal rags and pirate flags are furled;
For the safety of the state, for America, the Great, and the freedom of all the world!
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.
__We come! we come! to the fife and the drum for the flag of the free which protects you and me;
__For each! for all! we stand or we fall for the love of our liberty.

lyrics by Edmund Vance Cooke
When the sons of our soil by the hands of their toil declared men equal and free,
When they set that as seal of American weal as promise for you and for me,
By their word and their sword and their pen they proclaimed it to God and to men.
__Let Truth and Right decide us! And if our hearts are void,
__Our hands are dust, our swords are rust, and we destroyed.
__But if our banners guide us to answer Freedom's call,
__Tho' you and I may fight and die, ours shall not fall!
As our purpose is pure so our Cause shall endure when the call of the bugles is heard.
For the hearts of our state be they lowly or great resound to our old old word,
And again and again and again we proclaim it to God and to men.
__Let Truth and Right decide us! And if our hearts are void,
__Our hands are dust, our swords are rust, and we destroyed.
__But if our banners guide us to answer Freedom's call,
__Tho' you and I may fight and die, ours shall not fall!

lyrics by Leo J. Curley
Seems like all the girls are getting married, makes me just as blue as I can be,
Wish that I could get a fellow somehow, it's funny no one wants to marry me.
We have a lovely sofa in our parlor, and Dad's a cinch, but still the boys won't call,
Ma says when she was young they came a plenty, some nights she thought she'd have to hire a hall.
__I'm awful lonesome, lonesome, might as well be living in the moon,
__No one calls around at night to cozy up and hold me tight, I'll be an old maid soon,
__Gee how happy I could be kind of cuddled up on someone's knee,
__Like to put the fellows wise, think I'll have to advertize, lonesome little me.
Lots of girls aint half so nice I am, funny how they ever get a beau,
Dad just kids me something awful lately, he kind of smiles and says I must be slow,
He says to get some salt and I might catch one, and then he laughs till I could almost cry,
Next time I get a fellow on our sofa, I'll snuggle up real close, and then I'll sigh.
__I'm awful lonesome, lonesome, might as well be living in the moon,
__No one calls around at night to cozy up and hold me tight, I'll be an old maid soon,
__Gee how happy I could be kind of cuddled up on someone's knee,
__Like to put the fellows wise, think I'll have to advertize, lonesome little me.

Summer is the only time to coo and spoon,
When nobody's looking but the shining moon,
Strolling with your sweetheart while the stars are shining bright,
The only time for holding hands is on a summer night.
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime,
__Dreaming in love's dreamland with your baby mine,
__Stealing hugs and kisses, gee I think that's fine!
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime.
I'm in love with all the little cute sweet girls,
Some have eyes like diamonds, some have teeth like pearls,
In the park quite late at night I have a great old time,
I think that I could live on spooning in the summertime.
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime,
__Dreaming in love's dreamland with your baby mine,
__Stealing hugs and kisses, gee I think that's fine!
__Spooning in the moonlight in the summertime.

lyrics by J. R. Shannon
Twilight shades are creeping from out each rock and rill,
The golden sun has gone to rest way beyond the hill,
Tiny stars are gleaming like diamonds from the sky,
While nightbirds are singing their sweet lullaby.
__So journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
__Journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
Soon the golden moonbeams will kiss the silent sea,
The Sandman soon will weave his sweet spell o'er you and me,
Close your tired eyes, rest your head on Mother's breast,
For nature is sleeping, the whole world's at rest.
__So journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
__Journey off to slumberland while the shadows fall.
__Moontime is near, croontime is here.
__Ride upon the moonbeams until the birdlings call,
__When daybreak brings skies bright and clear.
Hum - um, hum - um, slumbertime's near, sweet dreams, my dear,
Hum - um, hum - um, fairies will guard you, for croontime is here.

(1919) Sweet and Low song
lyrics by James Stanley Royce
Sweet and low, sweet and low, soft evening breeze,
Comes from the happy land of memory bringing back again to me
The hours of fairyland rhymes, wonderful times at close of day,
While through the trees you sang your ever haunting melody.
Bring back those tender strains of Mother's soothing lullaby,
Moon swinging low, stars all aglow.
Bring the dancing shadows from the phantom long ago
When Mother sang sweet and low.
Bye-lo-bye, now close your eye, Sandman's coming by, so sly,
Dream sweet dreams till the morning dawn.
Sleep till the Sandman has gone to slumberland.
Bring back those tender strains of Mother's soothing lullaby,
Moon swinging low, stars all aglow.
Leave with me those mem'ries of that golden long ago
When Mother sang sweet and low.
(1921) By the Silvery Nile song
lyrics by Jack Yellen
Out where the pyramids stand on the glittering sand of an ancient land,
There I go straying it seems ev'ry night in my dreams and it only means
__I'll have to linger a while by the silvery Nile
__All alone in a bower. My sweet lotus flower
__Sighs to the stars in the skies
__While she's dreaming of me, wond'ring where I can be.
__Why did I stray so many miles away
__From her enchanting eyes that made a paradise of desert Egypt?
__She built a heaven for me just with one little smile by the silvery Nile.
She won my heart with a glance as in fairy romance, for we met by chance.
I never dreamed that someday I'd be feeling this way. I can only say
__I'll have to linger a while by the silvery Nile,
__All alone in a bower. My sweet lotus flower
__Sighs to the stars in the skies
__While she's dreaming of me, wond'ring where I can be.
__Why did I stray so many miles away
__From her enchanting eyes that made a paradise of desert Egypt?
__She built a heaven for me just with one little smile by the silvery Nile.

(1922) The Chimes of Liberty march song SM AR
lyrics by Leo Wood
There is music in the air, you can hear it ev'rywhere,
Far and near each tone so clear rings as it brings us all good cheer.
'Tis a song of happiness, ev'ry heart it means to bless
With its strains so appealing over us stealing like a sweet caress.
Like the chimes they ring out with the dawn
Spreading gladness like a hope new born.
North, East, South, West, you'll hear them ringing for you,
They're sending sunshine to each heart that beats true.
They're the chimes that fill the world with joy,
Thoughts of discontent they soon destroy.
They're chimes of gladness and they never will cease
In this land of happiness and peace.
__They're the Chimes of Liberty, chimes that ring for you and me.
__Where ev'ry loyal heart beats true they bring joy anew.
__'Tis a song of loyalty of a nation brave and free.
__Let us pray that they will ring for aye, our country's Chimes of Liberty.
Hear them ringing as they're bringing gladness to each heart.
Hear them saying while they're praying each to do his part.
Liberty, Liberty, Ah!
__They're the Chimes of Liberty, chimes that ring for you and me.
__Where ev'ry loyal heart beats true they bring joy anew.
__'Tis a song of loyalty of a nation brave and free.
__Let us pray that they will ring for aye, our country's Chimes of Liberty.
(1926) On the Pier march

Jewish musicologist Arthur Mendel (1905-1979) was an editor at G. Schirmer from 1930 to 1938.
During Mendel's tenure, G. Schirmer published The Schirmer Album of twelve GOLDMAN
MARCHES for the piano with vocal refrains. These marches were by the Jewish composer Edwin
Franko Goldman (1878-1956). Seven of the twelve marches had vocal refrains by Arthur Mendel's
wife, Elsa Wissell. It was a custom back then for Jewish wives to retain their maiden names.
Edwin Franko Goldman's wife also retained her maiden name, Adelaide Maibrunn. In 1936, Carl
Fischer published The Goldman March Album for piano. Eight of the fifteen marches had vocal
refrains by Adelaide Maibrunn.

On the Heights
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Above the city's roar, above the pall of summer heat,
Glad strains of music soar, resounding clear on ev'ry beat.
Here joyful echoes ride far o'er the heights in sweet acclaim,
While music's swelling tide flows proudly through the Hall of Fame.
The Age of Progress
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
As seasons come and go, as the waters ebb and flow,
Changing patterns wrought by man weave new threads through life's plan.
Man has quickened Nature's pace, triumphed over time and space,
We are in the Age of Progress. You must match its tempo if you can!
Exposition
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Raise a cheer for the flag of our nation, for the rainbow of red, white and blue;
Let the flame of our father's creation light the pathway to glories anew.
To the men who have died for the living, to the emblem of courage and peace,
Let us voice an eternal thanksgiving in rejoicing that never shall cease.
College Spirit
Ours are triumphant dreams, hopes that rise on clinbing wings,
High ambitions, thought which gleams in the mystery of things!
Let us then our college praise for the spendor of these days,
For the joys which shall be an unfading memory, grateful voices now we raise!
Equinox
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
The murmuring fields of corn bid Summer sad farewell,
And snow-covered branches mourn, held fast in Winter's spell.
But soon, from the dreamless sleep neath Earth's protecting wing,
The children of nature leap with joy to welcome Spring!
The Interlochen Bowl AR
lyrics by J. Henry Francis
Oh, sound the call to dear old Interlochen, land of the the stately pine,
Where stalwart hands and loyal ever greet you, faithful for Auld Lang Syne.
Old friends you'll meet, new ones you'll greet, a welcome you'll ever find.
So sound the call to dear old Interlochen, shrine of the muse divine.
Tribute to Sousa
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Some men their names in hist'ry write as warriors brave who lead the fight.
Their fame, though now it shines so bright, is sure to fade quickly from sight.
The March King won his vict'ries brave in all the joy his music gave.
The Stars and Stripes above his grave forever and ever shall wave!
Cheerio AR
Shenandoah
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
O'er Shenandoah's hills, by Shenandoah's shore,
There floats the sweet refrain of peace forevermore.
Shenandoah hail! A symbol let it stand

Cuckoo March
lyrics by Louise Elizabeth Goldman
Cuckoo! How merrily he sings! Cuckoo! What happiness he brings!
Cuckoo! Just listen to the joy that ev'ry little note brings from his throat!
Cuckoo! A very jolly song, cuckoo! It cannot be so wrong,
Cuckoo! To follow after him, cuckoo! And sing this song.
Excelsior
lyrics by Elsa Wissell
Wake, wake, ev'ryone! Remember that dreams are spun of human endeavor.
Fortune's fitful light flares for a moment bright and fades away!
Onward, ev'ryone! Press forward each job begun, forsake it never.
For ev'ry goal that's won begins with a job well done. Begin it today!

The Emblem of Freedom AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Flag of Freedom, waving over land and sea,
Emblem of Liberty, thou makest millions hope, millions free.
Precious emblem of a spreading dawn,
The world sees light in thy bright light reborn.
Starry emblem of a nation loving peace,
Oh may thy stars ne'er cease to shine upon us all, and increase
Hopeful courage for all future time,
When Love and Right shall rule in ev'ry clime.
On the Air
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
On the air ev'ry day and night, music rare, sweet and clear and bright,
From all the earth the best, North, South, East and West.
Near and far listen in and hear. Where you are there'll be joy and cheer.
On the air just ev'rywhere, the message rings for all the world to share.
On the Campus AR
lyrics by Duncan M. Genns
O grim grey Palisades, thy shadow upon the rippling Hudson falls,
And mellow mingled tints of sunset illumine now our classic halls,
While students gather round thine altars with tributes of devotion true,
And mingle merry hearts and voices in praise of N. Y. U.
Rah, rah, rah! Rah, rah, rah! Cis, boom, ah!
But college friendships all must sever and fade as does the dying day,
And closest kinships all be broken, as out in life we wend our way.
And yet whatever be life's fortune, though mem'ry fails and friends be few,
We'll love thee still, our Alma Mater, our dear old N. Y. U.
On the Mall AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
On a peaceful summer ev'ning when the sun has set,
And the cares of the day linger yet,
Don't be sad and don't be tired, there's a place to go,
Where there's rest brought by sweet music's flow.
Neath the trees with shadows dark the starry sky above,
There is calm, there is peace, there is love,
There, forgetting work and trouble, all may claim a share
Of Joy, Hope, and Courage rare.
On Parade AR
lyrics by Edwin Franko Goldman
Let's sing as we march along. With heads erect let's sing this joyful song.
With bugle and fife and drum, we're on parade, just wait until we come.
With flags flying ev'rywhere, music is in the air.
So come now and cheer the band. We're on parade, the finest in the land.
On the Farm
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Far away from the noise of the town on the farm, on the farm,
All the voices of nature resound, that's the place where peace is found.
The cows moo, the ducks say "Quack," the birds sing "Oh please come back!"
All my heart longs for home and its charms on the farm, on the farm.
Central Park AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
In our city so great and so fair is a playground for all folks to share,
Place for chidren's fun and play, free and open ev'ry day,
And for grownups a rest from all care.
Old and young should keep watch side by side, that it's beauty forever may bide.
Guard the trees and grass and flowers, for they all are truly ours.
Central Park is our joy and our pride.
Sunapee
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
A wondrous day for work or play, the whistle gaily seems to say.
It calls us out, for all about, for all about the world is fair beyond a doubt.
We stroll along and sing a song, our hearts are light, and hope is strong.
All nature sweet is ours to greet, a gift of love to keep us young.
Sagamore AR
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Sagamore, Sagamore, you were wise, your name we all adore.
Sagamore, Sagamore, your work lives though you are here no more.
You were wise, you were strong, and your power was felt from shore to shore.
Sagamore, Sagamore, oh may your Spirit o'er us ever soar.
Eagle Eyes
lyrics by Adelaide Maibrunn
Eagle eyes, always wise, guard us night and day, watching o'er our welfare wide.
Keep us sure, keep us pure, keep us true and gay, to our standards old and tried.
Eagle eyes, there's a prize, tis your country's best, for the ones who follow thee,
Tis a crown, tis renown, and from East to West an honor proud to keep old Glory free.
Indian March
Radio City
lyrics by Franklin Dunham
We're on the air, in touch with ev'rywhere, we're happy and have done away with care.
We hope you're all just list'ning to the show, and if you are, we're ready, so let's go.
Radio has brought to ev'ry little town important hap'nings, people of renown.
We hope you'll smile and join with us right soon, for that is why we sing to you this tune.
Mother Goose
Boy Scouts of America AR
lyrics by Richard Henry Goldman
A scout is loyal and true. He's brave in word and in deed.
He is always eager to do his good turn whene'er there is need.
He sings at work and at play. His task he faces with glee.
And although dark is the day, he's as cheerful as cheerful can be.
Young America
lyrics by Richard Henry Goldman
We march along and sing this song so gay and free,
For no more joyous band of students could there be.
In the class and in the field there are none to whom we yield,
For we've got a lot of pep as you can see.
So come along and share the spirit of the day,
For we are out to have a good time while we may.
We are anything but slow, so you'll hear it high and low,
When we give three rousing cheers: Hip, hip, hooray!

O, I'm going down to the rippling brook that flows beside the willow,
And I'll sit in the shade of a pretty tree, with a green moss pillow.
An' what'l ye do a sittin' there, my little fisher laddie?
Will you catch a whoppin' spotted pike, or a siller shaddie?
I'll catch nae one nor tother, lad, nor siller fish nor mottle,
I'll sit in the shade, in the shade of a tree, and drink frae a brown buttle!

(1920) Waiting For the Sun To Come Out song AR
lyrics by Arthur Francis
When the clouds the skies are filling, and the songbirds stop their trilling,
Don't take it to heart, let worry depart.
Soon the sunshine will say, Howdy, skies are not forever cloudy.
Just learn to sing and never mope, there is a thing that's known as hope.
__Weary are the flowers, dreary are the hours,
__Waiting for the sun to come out.
__Yet while clouds are crying, I smile never sighing,
__For I know that presently the sun will come out and smile on me.
__Gray skies will be clearing, gay skies soon appearing,
__Chasing ev'ry worry and doubt, there's no use in having sorrow about
__While waiting for the sun to come out.
(1922) Yankee Doodle Blues song
lyrics by Irving Caesar and B. G. DeSylva
Say, here's a word I want to say, say, have you ever been away,
Have you ever missed the good old USA?
When you get that itching in your shoes, go to any other land you choose,
See how quick you get those Yankee Doodle blues,
__You're singing, There's no land so grand as my land, from California to Manhattan isle,
__North and South, my sunny skyland, I love ev'ry mile!
__When I hear Yankee Doodle, that melody keeps on ringing in my ear,
__Yankee Doodle, that melody makes me stand right up and cheer, I'm coming!
__USA, I'll say I love you! Make me lose those Yankee Doodle blues!

lyrics by Louis Armstrong
Me and Brother Bill went hunting, up in the woods of eastern Maine,
The reason why we went up there, we thought we could catch some game.
As me and Brother Bill were hunting, way in the middle of the night,
We shot at something like a grizzly bear, and the doggone thing turned white.
__Oh, I dropped that gun, and away I run,
__Brother Bill said, "Boy, what's the matter with you?"
__Had he known like me, he'd a run some too.
__I run so fast they say that they couldn't catch me all day.
__The way I run across that field, you couldn't catch me with an automobile.
Brother Bill got so excited, he really took a shot at me.
The bullet whizzed just past my ear and sizzled right through a tree.
I run until I was exhausted, my feet were dragging on the ground,
I said, "Big feet, come on and do your stuff, 'cause we're Alabamy bound."
__Oh, I dropped that gun, and away I run,
__Brother Bill said, "Boy, what's the matter with you?"
__Had he known like me, he'd a run some too.
__I run so fast they say that they couldn't catch me all day.
__The way I run across that field, you couldn't catch me with an automobile.
(1950) Struttin' With Some Barbeque song © Leeds Music Corp.
lyrics by Don Raye
Struttin' with some barbecue, swingin' with the band,
Like the happy people do, way down in Dixieland.
Hear that ol' trombone and the trumpet ad lib,
Love to hear the lick, while I do my pickin', pickin' on a juicy rib.
'Cause I'm struttin' with some barbecue, feelin' mighty grand,
Pass another helpin', please, of that good ol' Dixieland.
And Mister Waiter, if you please, another rib or two,
And I'll go strut, strut, struttin', struttin' with some barbecue.

Drink to all the happy hours, drink to the careless days!
Drink to Maine, our Alma Mater, the college of our hearts always!
__To the trees, to the sky, to the Spring in its glorious happiness,
__To the youth, to the fire, to the life that is moving and calling us,
__To the Gods, to the Fates, to the Rulers of men and their destinies,
__To the lips, to the eyes, to the girls who will love us some day!
Fill the steins to dear old Maine! Fill as the rafters ring!
Stand and drink the toast once again! Let every loyal Maine man sing!
Drink to all the happy hours, drink to the careless days!
Drink to Maine, our Alma Mater, the college of our hearts always!

Oh, see them marching to the strains of martial music.
They're on the way to fight for Uncle Sam.
Here they come! Here they come! Hear the bugles and drums!
With swords and guns, American sons are proudly marching on to fight for Old Glory.
Three cheers for the pride of our nation, the finest boys in all creation.
Our army and navy, they will lead the way, defend the honor of the U. S. A.
__Fight for Old Glory and freedom too.
__Up, boys, be ready to help defend this land of ours, America.
__The bugle is calling, it calls for you.
__Fight for Old Glory, our Red, White and Blue.

When first our history began, Pennsylvania played a part.
At Brandywine and Gettysburg heroes fought with all their heart.
Now we sing the praises of this state of ours we love:
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, finest state in all the land,
__With mills and mines and fertile valleys and brotherhood on ev'ry hand,
__In the Keystone place of honor, cradle of our liberty,
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, God will keep us free!
The azure skies reflect the flames of our factories and mills.
Our farms are finest in the land, nestled in the fair foothills.
Teeming cities, world's acclaim, honor for all, our aim:
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, finest state in all the land.
__With mills and mines and fertile valleys and brotherhood on ev'ry hand.
__In the Keystone place of honor, cradle of our liberty,
__O the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, God will keep us free!
