The sheet music:
Lyrics
On the street, in the home
In a crowd, or alone
Shout! Wherever you may be
I am an American
I am, from the heart of me
Rich or poor, young and old
Let this message be told
Shout! Wherever you may be
I am an American
I’m proud of my liberty
In the factory, in the mill
Thru each valley, from each hill
Raise your voice and give America a thrill
On the farms, in the schools
Let’s have one set of rules
Shout! Wherever you may be
I am an American
I am, every part of me
Interlude:
From Alaska’s snowy peaks
To the Southland’s muddy creeks
Listen in, because America now speaks
On the farms, in the schools
Let’s have one set of rules
Shout! Wherever you may be
I am an American
I am, every part of me
