Lyrics
- The whole world’s in pray’r
All eyes in the air
A Hero they’re waiting to see
A “speck” in the sky
“He made it” they cry
Then this message came over the sea
Chorus
Hello, U. S. A. I’m proud I can say
“America did it again”
I battled the sky, to do or to die
‘Till I saw that old River Seine
“Hello, Mother” this is your boy
I’m calling from Paris, to tell you with joy
I flew for you, and the Red White and Blue
“America did it again”
- In some future age
In History’s page
For children to read there will be
Another great name
A Hero of Fame
And this message from over the sea
