The Scrappin’ Three- Tenth Verse: We are the boys from the Empire state we are the boys who will keep them straight We’ll be right there all Huns beware for the Yankee boys are getting in shape When we all rush in to do our bit each man will bear his share We’re all agreed that for us there is need as our song rings in the air Refrain: Let’s get the Hun with our long long thrust let’s mop them up with our rush rush rush We’re all glad to say Kaiser Bill’s had his day for the Germans lie down in the dust wow! When we advance with a heft heft ho something is sure to bust Three ten is there and we’ll always fight fair for our motto is “In God we trust.” Verse: When Uncle Sam called for money too we did our best and we saw him through Liberty loan liberty loan we who did our share are singing to you The old three-tenth finished way ahead always right on the line And with our pay we have carried the day and our song sounds mighty fine Refrain Verse: Football we play just as well as drill ru
