For What It’s Worth ~

A great old black and white movie. Made in 1942 it stared “James Cagney” and “Joan Leslie”.  The movie was written the  musical composer, playwright, actor, dancer and singer George M. Cohan. Cohan published more than 300 songs during his lifetime, including the standards “Over There”, “Give My Regards to Broadway”, “The Yankee Doodle Boy” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag”

Watch the movie I think you’ll enjoy it and recognize some of the music.

Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drums are rum-tumming everywhere

So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We’ll be over there, we’re coming over
And we won’t come back till it’s over over there.
Over there.
