Lyrics
Wilson, Democracy, and the Red, White and Blue Verse: The war in France now is over, the boys soon will come sailing home, To live in America’s clover, for peace lies over the foam. Cause victory rests on their shoulders, along with the red, white and blue, America’s proud of her soldiers, and, Wilson we’re proud of you too. Refrain: Wilson, democracy, the red, white and blue, we owe our victory all to you, Kultur is done, democracy won, hip, hip, hurrah, for the U.S.A. So let’s give three cheers for “old glory,” for she’s been tried and true, And the army and navy forever, with Wilson, democracy, the red, white and blue. Verse: The boys on their way to Berlin were ready to do or to die, O and democracy they did win, shouting the old battle cry. President Wilson behind them, fighting with Allied King and Lord, For Wilson’s the man who can show them, the pen’s mightier than the sword. Refrain
