Lyrics
  • ev’ryone do your bit for liberty for they need us right now o’er the sea show the way, save the say, now America it is you who must set us all free.
  • Englands sons, dear old France and Italy fight for right with their backs to the wall do your best, meet the test, now America hurry up come across at their call. Follow on follow on grab a gun, get the Hun, on the run see the tears of France are falling hear the voice of Belgium calling come on Yanks fill the ranks do your share for the ones over there now’s the time, fall in line, lets go over the Rhine, follow on follow on. Hurry up, hurry up, now America gather strength thro’ the length of your land come across, come across, now America hear their plea for your helping hand
  • Hurry up, hurry up, no America don’t you wait it’s too late if we dream wake them up, wake them up, now America make them fear when your eagle screams
