Lyrics
  • Lafayette We Are Here Verse: Lafayette, we are here
  • Lafayette, we are here, the sons of Uncle Sam, With our starry emblem dear, pride of all Americans, In the days of long ago you engaged in freedoms cause, To defeat the free-mans foe, Lafayette, we are here, Lafayette, we are here. Refrain: Lafayette we are here, to fight in freedoms fray, We are here we are here, our ancient debt to pay
  • No cultured despots sword can e’er our pathway bar, Lafayette, we are here, Lafayette we are here. Verse: Lafayette, we are here
  • Lafayette, we are here, the sons of Uncle Sam, Marching under freedoms banners, Poilu, Tommy, Sammy brave, May we all united stand, ‘till the Huns cultured hordes, Shall be driven from thy land Lafayette, we are here, Lafayette, we are here. Refrain
