Lyrics
Let Us Fight with All Our Might Verse: It has been an awful trial… that the government has had, It tried its best to keep the peace but things went very bad, It was hard for it to satisfy each and ev’ry one But when it comes to the battle cry all should carry a gun Refrain: So let us fight with all our might and stick to our government, We’ll stick to it thro’ thick and thin this message we have sent, So let us fight with all our might that’s what we’ll do always, We’ll stick to the boys in blue, you know, and the colors of the U.S.A. Verse: So when the hostile countries... their false friendship they did show, Sinking our American ships into the sea below, It did show them then and there outright things that we can do A declaration of war was signed for the red, white and blue Refrain Verse: Just think of our forefathers… brave and nobly they did fight, For this our own country’s freedom, for liberty and right, So it is now up to you, my boys, show what you can do Go and save the star
