Hurry right away, no delay, go today, Make your daddy glad to have had such a lad, Tell your sweetheart not to pine, To be proud her boy's in line. Chorus Over there over there Send the word, send the word over there That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, The drums rum-tumming ev'rywhere So prepare say a pray'r Send the word, send the word to beware We'll be over, we're coming over, And we won't come back till it's over over there! Verse Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun, Johnnie show the Hun you're a son of a gun, Hoist the flag and let her fly, Yankee Doodle do or die. Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit, Yankees to the ranks from the towns and the tanks, Make your mother proud of you And the old Red White and Blue.

- 7. March 30, 2016 The Hotel Howard was a magnificent achievement for William Howard as well as a resounding success. Construction of the two thousand foot pier supporting the hotel, bungalows, support buildings and recreation centers, was no small feat, Howard brought in all the construction materials despite the lack of roads, motor vehicles and other modem methods of transport. When the hotel and pier were built at the turn of the century Cross Bay Boulevard did not exist; the land was a marsh. There was no Sunrise Highway; the land was just north of the marsh. The automobile had been invented but would not be seen in South Queens for a few more years; most roads were dirt trails and those going into the marshes flooded at high tide. Yet William Howard managed to bring in all the materials needed to build his hotel and pier, accompanying buildings and even his power plant, which stood on the site Of today's Frank M. Charles Memorial Park. Hotel Howard had electricity years before the railroad, steam engines chugged over the trestle until 1905, the passengers marveling at the brightly lit Hotel Howard sitting atop its magnificent pier.
