George M. Cohan (1872-1942)
The father of American musical comedy, Mr. Cohan was born into theater. He gradually worked his way from his family's vaudeville troupe to Broadway, where by the 1920s he was doing ten productions in a single year. In his long career as author, composer, director and performer, this powerhouse of the popular stage had a favorite theme: star-spangled patriotism. This World War I composition won him a Congressional Medal, while I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy brought the honor of defining what it meant to be an American.

Over there, over there,
send the word, send the word over there.
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming,
the drums rumtumming ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
and we won't come back till it's over over there.
Over there, over there,
send the word, send the word over there.
That the boys are coming, the boys are coming,
the drums rumtumming ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
and we won't come back till it's over over there.
