Lyrics
  • Khaki Verse: Colors may change in fashion, change in the spring and Fall
  • Some that are worn in summer in winter will not do at all. Khaki is always stylish, now you see it ev’ry where! Khaki is right for the men who fight it’s the color that our soldiers wear! Refrain: Oh! The man who’s dressed in Khaki is the man who fights the Foe! And the man who’s dressed in Khaki is a man we’re proud to know! For he fights to guard the Empire, our gallant soldier lad! Let us cheer him along, with a rousing song, the man in Khaki clad. Verse: Youths may appear quite stylish, dressed in the finest made
  • Swells may be garbed in fashion, though theirs is not the fighting shade. But for the man of courage, plainly dressed for action he! Brave soldier lad in the Khaki clad in the thickest fight will be! Refrain
