But there's a Vietnam-era version of this song, tooby Paul Lavalle and the Band of America from the RCA Victor album, Salute to Our Fighting Men in Vietnam

SHOUT! WHEREVER YOU MAY BE]
I AM AN AMERICAN


From Alaska's snowy peaks,
to the Southland's muddy creeks,
listen in, because America now speaks!

On the street, in the home
in a crowd or alone,
Shout! wherever you may be.
I am an American,
I am, from the heart of me.

Rich or poor, young and old,
Let this message be told,
Shout! wherever you may be,
I am an American,
I'm proud of my liberty.

In the fact'ry, in the mill,
thru' each valley, from each hill,
raise your voice and give America a thrill!
On the farms, in the schools,
Let's have one set of rules:
Shout wherever you may be,
I am an American
I am, every part of me.

From Alaska's snowy peaks,
to the Southland's muddy creeks,
listen in, because America now speaks!
On the farms, in the schools,
Let's have one set of rules:
Shout wherever you may be,
I am an American
I am, every part of me.
