Lyrics
Yankee Doodle’s in the Fight To Stay Verse: Rally ‘round the flag boys, rally once for all, Make the world safe boys, for the worthy sons of toil. Rally ‘round the flag boys, just like fathers did for you, Gird yourself for battle, boys, defend the red, white and blue. Refrain: When the war is over ev’ry nation at peace, The world will look at Wilson with honor at least. For U.S. men and money are bound to win the day, Add glory for the Allies and the good old U.S.A. Verse: Rally ‘round the flag boys, rally once for all, Fighting by our brave lads that autocrats will fall. Yankee Doodle’s in the fight, he’s in the fight to stay, Until democratic principles will e’er rule the day. Refrain: When the war is over ev’ry nation will cheer, The boys back from the trenches knew nothing of fear. So here is to our heroes, the boys we love so dear, Each mother, father, sister, brother, they all want you here.
