Dewey, You're A Dandy - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
DEWEY, YOU'RE A DANDY. 
The appended verses were written and recited by a bright and patriotic young miss of the Tilden School: 
Yankee Dewey sailed his boats Down in Manila Bay, sir: He found the Spaniards on their floats. And blew them all away, sir. 
Chorus. Yankee Dewey, keep it up; O Dewey, you're a dandy! Yankee Dewey, keep It up: Yes, Dewey, you're a dandy 
Then Yankee Dewey sent us word, And this is what he said, sir: "We've sunk their gunboats, every one. And not a Yankee dead, sir! "-Chorus. -Detroit Free Press.
