First Line: Ah, where in the gutters of naples
Last Line: "but ""see young america first""!"
Subject(s): Youth
Ah, where in the gutters of Naples,
Or where in the alleys of Rome,
Or where in the valleys of Scotland
Are boys like our urchins at home?
Bright-eyed, clean-souled, merry rascals,
Their voices a jubilant burst, --
You may look at the youth of the nations,
But "see Young America first"!
