DAWN OF A NEW DAY (Official Song of the World's Fair)
Words by Ira Gershwin, music by George Gershwin, ©1938.
As recorded by Horace Heidt and His Musical Knights

Sound the brass; roll the drum.
To the world of tomorrow we come.
See the sun through the gray.
It's the dawn of a new day.
Here we come, young and old,
Come to watch all the wonders unfold,
And the tune that we play,
It's the dawn of a new day.
Tell the wolf at the door
That we don't want him 'round anymore.
Better time's here to stay
As we live and laugh the American way.
Listen one; listen all.
There can be no resisting the call.
Come hail the dawn of a new day.

[An annotation at WorldCat says: "Song was found among the papers of the late George Gershwin; Ira Gershwin composed the lyrics especially for the Fair."]
