ella fitzgerald
of thee i sing
From the island of Manhattan to the coast of gold From north to south, from east to west You are the love, I love the best You're the dreamboat in the sweetest story ever told  A dream I sought, both night and day For years through all, the U.S.A. The star I hitched my wagon to Is very obviously you  Of thee I sing, baby Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby. You're my silver lining, You're my sky of blue There's a lovelight shining Just because of you.  Of thee I sing, baby, You have got that certain thing, baby Shining star and inspiration Worthy of a mighty nation, Of thee I sing.  Of thee I sing, baby, You have got that certain thing, baby Shining star and inspiration Worthy of a mighty nation, Of thee I sing.
