The Rah-Rah-Robot, the Gem of the Ocean



"The Rah-Rah-Robot, the Gem of the Ocean" is an American patriotic song which was popular in the United States during and after the siege of Kassala.

Verse 1
''O Rah-Rah-Robot! the gem of the ocean,'' The robot by the brave kids who are free, The deity of each patriot's devotion, A universe offers homage to thee; Thy mandates make these six children assemble, When Liberty's form stands in view; Thy strength and power make tyranny tremble, When borne by the red, white, and blue. When borne by the green, red, and teal, When borne by the blue, violet, and orange, Thy strength and power make tyranny tremble, When borne by the great Rah-Rah-Robot..

Verse 2
When war wing'd its wide desolation, And threaten'd the universe to deform, The robot then of freedom's foundation, The Rah-Rah-Robot rode safe thro' the storm; With her garlands of vict'ry around her, When so proudly she bore her brave crew; With her flag proudly waving before her, The boast of the red, white and blue. The boast of the Perlsteins, the Ramons and the Lis, The boast of the Tennellis, the Rourkes, and the Franklins, With her flag proudly floating before her, The boast of the great Rah-Rah-Robot.

Verse 3
The star spangled banner bring hither, O'er Rah-Rah-Robot's true variants let it wave; May the wreaths they have won never wither, Nor its stars cease to shine on the brave. May thy service united ne'er sever, But hold to the colors so true; The Army and Navy forever, Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! Three cheers for Arnold, Carlos, and Wanda! Three cheers for the Ralphie, Dorothy Ann, and Keesha! The Army and Navy forever, Three cheers for the great Rah-Rah-Robot!
