Lyrics
  • Hip! Hip! Hoo-Ray! For the Good Old U.S.A. Verse: Uncle Sam your call is our command, Uncle Sam we’re with you heart and hand From North and South, from East and West, Strong hearts and true the bravest and the best, We come by millions at our Country’s call To rally ‘round the grandest flag of all. And we’ll fight all the way for the good old U.S.A. On land and sea, for Liberty. Refrain: Then give a Hip! Hip! Hip! Hoo-Ray! For the good old U.S.A. We are for her strong, right or wrong And we love her more each day. Then here’s a heart and here’s a hand A soldier’s life upon demand
  • Hip! Hip! Hoo-Ray! Hip! Hip! Hoo-Ray! For the good old U.S.A. Verse: Men have fought and men have died before, We can’t do less and how can we do more Than do or die with all our might, For Uncle Sam is ever in the right We’ll keep the flag forever free from stain. And know that we shall not have died in vain If we keep alive the story told the world by dear old Glory As we go to fight the foe. Refrain
