Lyrics
So Dress up Your Dollars in Khaki Verse: From lowland and highland, in your land and my land, our warriors are marching away To join their commanders in France and in Flanders to help the world win in this fray But Uncle Sam is calling the stay at homes too, for the pathway to freedom is rocky. So prove you’re a soldier by saying, yes you! And dress up your dollars in khaki. Refrain 1: Oh! Dress up your dollars in khaki a spell, and help in democracy’s fight. With your nickels and dimes and your quarters as well, you can set the whole question aright. For the lender is freedom’s defender, but the spender’s the worst of them all. Let a war savings stamp send your money to camp, and answer the president’s call. Refrain 2: Oh! Dress up your dollars in khaki a spell, and help in democracy’s fight. With your nickels and dimes and your quarters as well, you can set the whole question aright. For the lender is freedom’s defender, but the spender’s the worst of them all. Ev’ry thrift stamp’s a
