| Lyrics | The Yankee Boys From Yankee Land Are On Their Way to France Verse: My boy the alarm has been sounded, to arms at a moment’s call. The battles are raging in Europe, to make the nations free to all, Now is the time for to holler, let us be the ones to shout, For liberty and independence, our Yankee boys have worked it out. Refrain: The war is on and we’re in it. To fight for the cause that is right. We’ll carry a full equipment, and fight with all our might, So England, France and Belgium, open wide your ranks, For the Yankee boys from Yankee land are on their way to France. Verse: We stand as a wonderful nation, as heroes to cross the sea. To stand by our foreign relation, and fight for world democracy, We fear no sword or no scepter, we will sail to fight or die, Since Kaiserism must be banished, they’ve left it up to you and I.
