THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
A Yank generation gets lost somehow
Chapter 89
The Yanks have always liked parties,
2And it seemed like they had a lot to celebrate,
3Because everything was booming,
4aWhat with Mr. Henry Ford and his invention of assembly lines,
5bAnd Mr. Sears Roebuck and his invention of retail advertising,
6cAnd all the stocks on Wall Street going through the roof,
7dAnd all the girls getting a little freer with their favors,
8eAnd jazz music busting out all over,
9And Hollywood bulging with fstars,
10And America suddenly the richest and most prosperous nation in the whole world,
11gAnd wasn’t everything just great?
