Mr. Harris, George has just written a new song for me to sing in his show.
The Yanks are coming
Wandering day by day
It has a direct bearing on my sending for you.
Look at him rear, he's broken line He's simply wild to run
Josie, get the cheap makeup off the table.
That's enough for tonight.
...when my little sister Josie made her entrance.
Where'd you get those peepers?
We'll be billed as we should be: The Three Cohans.
Keep your eye on that grand old flag
Look at the condition of this room.
Yes, but it's my voice.
He's just mischievous, that's all.
Nothing wrong with that, especially when the greatest actor is my husband.
- Nothing the matter with my arteries. - No, not right now...
They're in the stretch, here they come He's falling to the rear
...because those kids got you all worked up.
Proud of all the Irish blood That's in me
Larry O'Leary is me name
Do you, really, Mr. President? That's a long time ago.
- Real piece of acting there, Georgie. - You're going places.
Now, that was a very sweet gesture.
Oh, I am proud.
You've been dishonest.
Just as Mr. Doodle did By riding on a pony
In show business we call that a piece of pie and a glass of milk.
...but we want to settle down and raise a family.
Everybody doubled in brass. Dad walloped the bass drum.
Yes, you see, my brother's writing some new material for us...
That's why most of them never amount to anything.
If you've got a soul in ya
Hey, Jerry, did you see the way they're billing you in Waukegan?
Sure. I understand.
I was a good Democrat even in those days.
Bring down the curtain!
- Yeah, a few. - Like what?
"Yankee Doodle."
Let's see how tough he is!
...half and equal.
My future husband helped me pick it out.
...Of all the loud, vulgar flag-waving.
Hit your lights and keep them on the singer until the others come.
Dad seemed content with the sticks, but I was straining at the leash.
Eddie, call Wallachs and find out what's keeping them.
...and what's more, as for those songs of yours...
What your father really means is you're too sensitive.
A Yankee Doodle Do or die
To be proud her boy's in line
What a wonderful girl you are
It's to jail you're going, me boy!
Oh, George.
Foy won't retire till he's 90.
You're the emblem of The land I love
But what about the libretto? It's a grand story, isn't it?
- He's got influence with Miss Templeton. - You talk to him, and I'll tackle Templeton.
...and drinking champagne out of your...
Way down south in the land of cotton
I can't understand it.
We're giving you our two weeks' notice, George. Heh.
- Even followed dog acts. - Must have looked like an encore.
When I was courting Eleanor
Well, ahem, that's very wise. I mean, being 18 is very wise.
- ...they'll know. - Oh, George.
I seem to hear them say
- What's your name? - Mary.
But on the other hand...
Come in.
Have offered Johnny anything To keep him over here
All aboard
...my mother thanks you...
You have girls up your sleeve.
And he's lived to see his son an American institution.
- Three Cohans. - Mm-mm.
Pass that goulash down to this end of the table.
- Papers? What papers? - What...? What papers?
Diamonds glistening all around And style enough to kill
I'm always as young as the people I'm with...
Uh... You're sure there isn't some mistake?
Are you or are you not going to produce my play?
We'll fight as we did before
I feel as though I've known you for years.
- May I? - Why, of course.
Maybe I've never told you before, but no son ever had a better dad...
- What do you say? - Well, seeing that he arrived...
But should old acquaintance be forgot
He's got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
- Won't you read all that cleverness? - What makes you think I didn't?
I will be down the street watching a musical comedy.
- No, you'll never be able to stand it. - Hardships and physical strain?
Pretty good. There's a contract in my desk already made out.
I think I might like it, Mr. Cohan.
I do humbly apologize and ask forgiveness...
In the ways of the people and things
Don't worry, Dad. I'll never do that.
Maybe you're not quite ready for the big time yet.
- Don't open that now... - You haven't written me a letter in 20 years.
His old one's so loud, you can hear it right through his coat.
- Is she all right? - She's doing fine.
All right, you write a bad play. The only thing to do is forget about it.
But it was Mary
- A lot would like to shoot actors. - Save these telegrams.
Five-thirty. We'd have done eight shows by this time in Buffalo.
It's easy, very easy
Don't print it It's strictly off the record
We opened in Brooklyn. Heh-heh-heh.
And only secondly does he think of the woman he says he loves.
All right, on the boat.
Jerry, the time has come for George's first spanking.
Hmm.
Red, white and blue I am for you
Positively a riot.
...and you folks gathering a few crumbs in the tank towns.
Oh, Mr. Cohan, you're so old and so experienced in the theater.
But you've got to remember, Fay, we're having a tough time...
...that from now on you'll always be a good boy.
No, but they should be ringing down just about now.
But I have found a way Of dropping a hint
Now we've really got something to worry about.
A real live nephew Of my Uncle Sam
I've been here since 2:00 this afternoon, trying to get up courage to come backstage.
Hold that pose. We want to show it to our legal department.
The next 10 years rushed by like a circus train.
We'll give your regards To old Broadway
Whenever we get too high-hat, too sophisticated for flag-waving...
His family hasn't blackballed him.
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
- Did you make a speech? - Mm-hm. I thanked them for us.
