BORN IN THE US OF AMERICA

Yes I am a Yankee doodle Dandy
Ancestry: Mom a decedent of Constantine 2ND
Just call me King Dandy
Dad's parents born in Limerick, Ireland
I am adding at this point that
My site picture is a family trip to Ireland
To find the family castle
So the kids and Mom are pictured
in front of the Ballynahitch castle
We found our roots somewhat in disarray
But I returned to my family home of birth
Leaving the past behind I am a proud American
I honor that all of you are proud of your heritage
And on this day of all day wish peace in the world
I'm the Son of an Irish drunk
You can refer to me as Irish and white
But in truth just a man who loves a world of peace
English speaking and proud on this day to be American
Actually proud on any day and a Veteran
Washington Army National Guard Us Air force and Navy medical school
Served overseas in Osan Korea night Emergency room
This country took my family in as immigrants
Sent me off to a foreign land to protect the yellow man
OK, I wasn't sent to kill I was a medic
Never own a slave although Petticoat Dictator makes that claim
If I am prejudice it's against people who kill rob and maim
I find the lot of you quite insane
Tonight the American flag hangs high rockets in the sky
Born in America and an American til the day I die
