Lyrics
  • Put Your Hands in Your Pockets and Give, Give, Give Verse: From the sunny slopes of California to the rockbound coasts of Maine, From the south and north, they are marching forth
  • shall we let them call on us in vain? There is work for those they leave behind them
  • they will need our loving care, And a helping hand will find them if we all but do our share. Refrain: Put your hands in your pockets for the War Chest now, and back up the boys out there. Put your hands in your pockets and we’ll show them how those at home can do their share. Over there the boys are fighting so that you and I may live. Put your hands in your pockets for the War Chest now and give, give, give. Verse: They have said goodbye to those who love them
  • left behind the things most dear. They have given all when they head the call
  • shall we be content to stand and cheer? When our children read the wond’rous story, how a lasting peace was one, We shall have our share of glory if our work is nobly done. Refrain
