Lyrics | They’re On Their Way to Germany Verse: Ten million Yankee Doodle hearts have answered to the call, Ten million hands will lift the flag, and never let it fall, A gun on ev’ry shoulder and the stars and stripes unfurled, They’ll follow Uncle Sammy tho’ he lead them ‘round the world, From north and south and east and west, America has given of her best. Refrain: For they’re on their way to Germany, and victory across the sea, With a message in ev’ry gun they’re coming, Yankee Doodle is the tune that they are humming, ‘Neath the stars and stripes they’ll pave the way, to a world democracy, And there’ll be a vacant chair in the palace over there, for they’re on their way to Germany. Verse: The deeds of brave America all his’try’s pages fill, For when our flag’s in danger, we have answered with a will, The old Star Spangled Banner and the Yankee Doodle strain, Will lead our boys to victory and bring them back again, Our cause will be for liberty and freedom of the world on land and sea.
