Lyrics
Victory (Dedicated to Your Boy and Mine) Verse: War, war, is all the cry today of our dear old Uncle Sam. We join to show the Allies how to rid the world of one man power. Go boys and don your khaki, do your bit now on land or sea. You’ll win the war and fight it thru, show what you can do. Refrain: Fight, fight, boys for your flag and colors that old red, white and blue, In trenches or in air or sea, it’s all the same for victory, Brave mothers, yes boys and sweethearts too, Stand waiting back home for you. Waiting, yes for your safe return and victory. Verse: Fight boys, you hear the shout go out o’er all the United States. America stands back of you so go to it and fight it clear thru. We on the sidelines root and cheer for our boys to us so dear. They’ll make the Germans drop their guns, spoil the Kaiser’s fun. Refrain
