Motherhood Lyrics by Kate Baldwin, Bette Midler, Beanie Feldstein

Hello, Dolly! (New Broadway Cast Recording)

2017

[DOLLY]
I stand for
Motherhood
America
And a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
Betsy Ross's flag is passing
Do you see him
On the hill at Gettysburg
'Neath that great triumphal arch?
If you see him as he's trampling through the grapes of wrath
Stand up and march, march, march!
[IRENE]
I stand for motherhood
America
And a hot lunch for orphans
Take off your hat, sir
There's a tear-stained eagle passing
Do you see him
On the bridge at Waterloo
'Neath that great triumphal arch?
If you hear him singing Dixie in the sugar cane
Stand up and march, march, march!
[IRENE & MINNIE, DOLLY]
I stand for motherhood
America, and a (Alamo! Remember the)
Hot lunch for orphans (Alamo!)
Take off your hat, (Oh, I regret that I've)
Sir (One life to give)
Betsey Ross's flag is passing (For my country)
Do you see him (In the words of Lincoln:)
On the hill at ("One if by land and)
Getty'sburg (Two if by sea.")
'Neath that great ("Yes Dad, I chopped)
Triumphal arch? (That cherry tree down.")
O, Stonewall Jackson!
If you
See him as he's (Glory)
Trampling through the (Glory)
Grapes of wrath (Hallelujah)
[DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE]
Stand up and march, march
[IRENE, spoken]
Four score and seven years ago!
[DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE]
March, March, March
[MINNIE, spoken]
To form a, more perfect, union!
[DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE]
March, March
[DOLLY, spoken]
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
[DOLLY, IRENE, & MINNIE]
March, March, March!
