What's More American?

So Harmony, do you have the words to the song you sang all through 1st grade about "I'm as American as corn flakes, apple pie, and . . ."? Shucks, you probably remember the words. I thought it was a very cute song and since it was the Bi-Centennial year, you also rode on stick horses and sang "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Mom

That was the comment from my mom on my last post, to which I must respond. What a blast from the past. As I recall, I also wore a blue plastic tri-corner hat in that Bicentennial program. No, I don't remember all the words, but I did find part of the tune still in my head, and I did remember enough of the words to find the lyrics and the name of the songwriter. Is there anything that can't be found on the Internet?! Anyone else remember this song? Do you have a favorite song from elementary school that still brings back warm, fuzzy little kid memories? Aaah, first grade...that was a good time of life!
