Uncle Sam’s Right Arm.

Ten girls in white sing, air, “Annie Laurie”.

1.

When war clouds dim the sunshine

And shadow all the land,

When our country goes to battle

With foes on every hand,

’Tis then the call comes clear

To loyal hearts and true

To lay down their lives and fortunes

For our own red, white and blue.

2.

Our lovely starry banner

Defeat must never know,

For it stands for truth and freedom

Where’er its colors blow.

Then pledge your faith anew

A vow to Liberty,

Which shall never cease to bless us

’Neath the banner of the free.

Enter Uncle Sam, a boy dressed in usual costume. He stands in center of stage while girls who sang group themselves at back of stage.

UNCLE SAM:

I am America’s Uncle Sam,

Democracy’s pioneer.

I have sent a message across the sea

That other lands may hear;

And there comes to us now a call for aid

For her cause has suffered harm,

And Democracy turns for protection now

To your Uncle Sam’s strong right arm.

And I—in turn—am asking you

What help you will give to me,

And what will you do to make the world

Safe for Democracy.

A splendid army you’ve given me

But the fight has just begun

And men must be training all the time

For the work is not yet done.

So teach the little children, too,

A patriotic zeal

And they will be ready, if ever there’s need,

To answer a world’s appeal.

Enter 12 small boys in soldier suits. They advance to front of stage, Uncle Sam standing at one side. At conclusion of speeches soldiers step to back of stage. Each group take same positions before and after speaking and singing.

ALL SOLDIERS:

When each of us becomes a man

He’ll be a soldier if he can.

1st.

I’d like to be a drummer boy.

I’d beat a charge with vim and joy.

2nd.

I’d be a trumpeter. I’d never sound retreat

But call the men from hill and glen the enemy to meet.

3rd.

I’d love to be a gunner and make the cannon roar.

A lot of gunners, brave and strong, I’m sure would end this war.

4th.

I’ll be an aviator and like a bird I’ll fly

Within my shining airship, away up in the sky.

5th.

I’ll drive a Red Cross ambulance and all the wounded men

I’ll take away from battle fields, till they are well again.

6th.

Some one must feed the soldiers and I think I’d like to cook.

I don’t know how to do it, but you learn it from a book.

7th.

I’d love to ride on horseback in every big parade,

But when it comes to battles I think I’d be afraid.

8th.

I’d like to be a general, like Joffre, so good and wise

And find myself a hero in every nation’s eyes.

9th.

I’d like to be as famous as the mighty General Foche

Who leads the allied armies to war against the Boche.

10th.

I’d like to lead our army like General Pershing, he

Is just the biggest hero in all the world to me.

11th.

I guess I’ll be a private. We can’t all heroes be,

But anyway, I know I’ll serve my country faithfully.

12th.

I’ll be the color bearer and hold our flag on high,

And always, o’er the battle field, it will in victory fly.

All.

We’ll serve our country and our flag and serve them faithfully

And all be valiant soldiers when men we grow to be.

UNCLE SAM:

Don’t fail to help the Red Cross, too,

Theirs is a noble task,

They ease the dying, cure the hurt,

So give whene’er they ask.

Enter any number girls dressed as Red Cross nurses. They sing air, “Yankee Doodle”.

1.

We’ll bandage you and bleed you, too,

We’ll give you pills and potions,

We’ll bathe your hot and aching brow

With cool and soothing lotions.

CHORUS.

Red Cross nurses wise are we

Red Cross nurses dandy,

If you get wounded don’t be scared,

You’ll always find us handy.

2.

We’ll tend the wounded under fire

In scientific manner,

We’ll do our best for all who fight

Beneath our starry banner. CHORUS.

UNCLE SAM:

Children can help to win the war

If they save each penny and dime.

If they do without candy and movies and gum

They’ll have a quarter in time.

And a quarter will buy a Thrift Stamp

So, children, all of you try

For every little Thrift Stamp

Is a War Stamp by and by.

Enter 12 girls in white holding green cards on which are huge white letters spelling Thrift Stamps.

1st.

Tiny little Thrift Stamps, bright and green and new,

2nd.

Help us on to victory. Won’t you buy a few?

3rd.

Reach into your pocket, just a dime each day

4th.

If you only give it for many things will pay.

5th.

Food and ships and shelter, clothing, swords and guns

6th.

Till an army, well equipped, goes to fight the Huns.

7th.

Save your pennies, children, send them o’er the foam,

8th.

Till the war is over and the boys come home.

9th.

Are you patriotic? Then you musn’t shirk.

10th.

Make your pennies soldiers, make your quarters work.

11th.

Proud you’ll be of helping when the war is done,

12th.

So buy a Thrift Stamp every day till the fight is won.

All.

Do your bit for Uncle Sam, Make your money fight

Till the strife is ended with victory for the right.

UNCLE SAM:

Every War Saving Stamp that you buy

Is a step on the road to Berlin.

So purchase as many as ever you can

And the war we soon shall win.

Enter any number girls in green with letters W S S on waist. Letters may be cut from white paper. They sing, air, “Coming Through the Rye”.

1.

We are stamps of vast importance

Everybody knows.

Every sale of us, remember,

Helps defeat our foes.

CHORUS.

Saving Stamps you all must purchase—

Help the war to win,

So send us smiling on our way

Until we reach Berlin!

2.

Save your pennies, dimes and quarters

Save them constantly

Till you have enough to buy us,

Send us o’er the sea. CHORUS.

UNCLE SAM:

If you can’t fight your money can—

Don’t own a slacker dollar,

But send it straightway “Over There”

’Twill make the kaiser holler!

Buy bonds, buy bonds for Liberty

And loan the U S A

Each cent that you can live without,

’Twill surely save the day.

Enter 12 girls in white with red, white and blue sashes and gilt paper crowns, to represent Liberty. They carry red letters spelling LIBERTY BONDS.

1st.

Let every patriot do his best and help to win the war with zest.

2nd.

Invest your money in a bond, and to your country’s call respond.

3rd.

Better a loan to win the war than tribute to a conqueror.

4th.

Even the smallest bond may save the life of many a soldier brave.

5th.

Remember if you do not go your money should, so don’t be slow.

6th.

To save Democracy we fight so aid the cause with all your might.

7th.

You know we’re in the fight to stay so buy a bond or two today.

8th.

Be generous, it is the due of those who give their lives for you.

9th.

Over the seas, amid the fray, their fate depends on us today.

10th.

Now let us send with lavish hand our money to the gallant band.

11th.

Don’t put it off, don’t hesitate, next month, next year, may be too late.

12th.

So buy a bond for Liberty, and send your money o’er the sea.

UNCLE SAM:

I view with pride my bold marines

Who sail the raging sea.

As fighters they are wonderful,

So fierce and brave they be.

Enter 10 boys in sailor costume. They sing, air, “Sailing”.

1.

Heave ho! my lads. We must away

And anchor raise while yet ’tis day

For far across the waters blue

Our bark will bear its gallant crew.

Our country’s foes we gladly go to fight

While o’er us floats our starry banner bright.

CHORUS.

Then here’s to our country and here’s to the red, white and blue

May it wave in every port the wide world thru.

Sailing, sailing, over the dashing foam

Full many a stormy sky shall frown

Ere the sailor lads come home.

2.

We’ll chase the U-boats from the sea—

They shall no more a danger be,

And he who sails the ocean clear

With us to guide need have no fear.

We’re bold marines who dearly love to fight

While o’er us floats our starry banner bright.

They may do Sailor’s Hornpipe if desired.

UNCLE SAM:

You all have heard the story

How the Minute Men of old

Were ever at their Country’s call—

So watchful and so bold.

They carried warning thru the night

Which led to victory

And gathered all the patriots

To fight for Liberty.

Like them are my Four Minute Men

Who speak instead of fight

And urge a listening country

To aid the cause of right.

Four Minute Men—Five boys dressed in colonial costume if desired.

1st.

In every large assembly

We’re always sure to be.

2nd.

We speak on many subjects

Dear to Democracy.

3rd.

We speak about the Stamps and Bonds

And urge you all to buy.

4th.

Because it’s necessary

And tell the reason why.

5th.

We thus reach many people

Who otherwise would say

“No one asked me to buy a thing”

And try to shirk that way.

All.

We’re like the Minute Men of old

Altho we do not fight

We bring a warning message

That you may aid the right.

UNCLE SAM:

My aviators rule the air

They wing their way on high

And soon they’ll drive the enemy

Forever from the sky.

Aviators—11 boys in aviator’s costume. 5 of them speak.

1st.

We’re Uncle Sam’s birdmen, with temperament strange

For we’re usually up in the air

When it comes to a fight with a foe in the clouds

No others with us can compare.

2nd.

We swoop thru the air like a bird on the wing

We circle, we dive, and we rise.

High up o’er the world with our hearts free from care

We speed on our path thru the skies.

3rd.

If the plane of an enemy ever approaches

In battle we promptly engage.

Till the foe falls in ruins, down, down to the earth

Our warfare relentless we wage.

4th.

With nerves that are steady, with eyes that are keen

We traverse the uncharted blue

And we call to the stars and the moon as we pass

And they twinkle as if they all knew.

5th.

From the skies of the world all intruders we’ll drive

And the air raids shall quite cease to be

When we’re finished there won’t be a Zeppelin left

To annoy this fair land of the free.

They sing, air, “Kentucky Home”. This is very effective if accompanied with appropriate gestures.

1.

Just gaze on us, for we’re aviators bold

We circle and turn in the air.

We loop the loop and we dive and mount and glide

And our hearts are gay and free from care.

Our eyes are bright and our nerves are firm as steel

We’re rising—we’re sinking below—

We show the world that we’re monarchs of the air

As far up above the clouds we go.

CHORUS.

Left—then right—we’re swerving—

And now we drop below

Then we rise on high, soaring thru the pathless sky

Far, far up above the clouds we shall go.

2.

My aeroplane will respond to every wish

It hums as it rises on high.

It seems to love thus to leave the world behind

Like a bird it wings across the sky

The sun by day and the twinkling stars at night

Look down in amaze and surprise

Our hearts will thrill as the wild wind whistles past

While we wing our swift way thru the skies.

CHORUS.

UNCLE SAM:

A hungry army can never fight,

So we must feed our men,

And the one who stays at home and plants

In every meadow and glen

And raises the grain to give them bread

Is patriot, brave and true

As any soldier who fights today

’Neath the red, the white, the blue.

Enter farmers, 10 boys in overalls and straw hats, carrying hoes, rakes, etc. They sing, air, “Vive L’Amour”.

1.

We plant and we spade and we rake and we hoe

All for the soldier boys,

We dig and we harrow, we plant and we sow,

All for our soldier boys.

CHORUS.

Sing of the farmers, the patriots true

Raising the wheat and the golden corn too.

Gladly we toil, tilling the soil,

All for our soldier boys.

2.

We’ll feed all the allies till victory is won

Won by our soldier boys,

And welcome them home when their great task is done,

Welcome our soldier boys. CHORUS.

UNCLE SAM:

With helpers such as these ’tis plain

Our victory is assured,

And not in vain the hardships

Our brave boys have endured.

We’ll make the whole wide world today

Safe for Democracy,

And the Stars and Stripes shall ever float

O’er the Land of Liberty.

All sing, air, “Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes”.

1.

All hail the banner of the free, the bonny Stripes and Stars.

Of purity the white stars speak, no stain their beauty mars.

A sign of valor you may read within its crimson bars

The blue field stands for truth and hope, illumined by Heaven’s own stars.

2.

O’er it the light of victory shall ever brightly shine.

For freedom, justice and the right, ’twill ever be the sign.

Then may it proudly float on high, this flag of yours and mine.

And may the bonny Stripes and Stars with added lustre shine.

LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
