Lyrics

I'd like to form a League of Nations
Without any obligations
Composed of girls, and each a beautiful one
'Twould be a very novel treaty
represented by a sweetie
From each and ev'ry country under the sun
Don't think I'm asking for your kind applause
But I think a Yankee girl should be its president
Because

CHORUS:
Her eyes are little bit brighter
Her teeth are a little bit whiter
She's just a bit more lively
Which makes her more attractive
The rest are not as active
At a party or a ball
Her smile is a little bit sweeter
Her style is a little bit neater
And from her toes up to her knees
The ankle gazer sees
She's
Got the Leg of Nations
My girl of the U.S.A.
