Lyrics
“We’re All For the U.S.A.” Verse: If the bugle calls to save the U.S.A., from deceit and stern military sway, If the foreign friendship we must sever, let us all stand firm together. For the stars and stripes forever, for we’re all for the U.S.A. Refrain: Yes we’re all for the U.S.A., where freedom and honor hold sway, In God we trust and fight if we must for our loved ones ‘tho far, far away. Against every foe that comes, we’ll protect our own loved ones, Tho’ in battle we may fall we will risk our lives and all for we’re all for the U.S.A. Verse: We are lovers of the right in U.S.A., we are always for honor and fair play, Is it then any great wonder, when our rights are trampled under, And our homes are torn aunder [sic], we will fight to save the U.S.A.
