Lyrics:
Verse 1:
There' is a call resounding now you hear it ev'rywhere
In ev'ry town and square it comes from "over there".
The U.S.A. is in the fight and you know what that means.
That ev'ry lad is joining from the north to New Orleans.
If you can't wear a uniform there's one thing left to do.
Don't ever quit, just "Do your bit" you know it's up to you.
Refrain:
You've got to go in or go under.
You've got to be going all day.
We know you're not in khaki or in blue
But you're as big a man and you've a job to do.
In Flanders they're calling for Soldiers.
They're calling for you and for me.
If you can't come along
Back us up good and strong
And we'll drive them back to Germany.
Verse 2:
Ev'ry day some thousand soldiers sail across the sea
To fight for you and me. To save "Democracy"
The men who can't go over can do something never fear.
They all can volunteer today to lick the Germans here.
Pro Germans are a danger, they are lurking at your door.
So wake up! Now America we've got to win this war.
Refrain:
You've got to go in or go under.
You've got to be going all day.
We know you're not in khaki or in blue
But you're as big a man and you've a job to do.
In Flanders they're calling for Soldiers.
They're calling for you and for me.
If you can't cross the pond
Buy a Liberty Bond
And we'll drive them back to Germany.
