Big cannons roar, the worlds at war,
The cause brought on by Bill,

Yes bow unto his will.
Now in the start, we took no part,
Just neutral, goodness knows;
We would be yet till Bill got set
A-steppin' on our toes.

The Stars and Stripes and Uncle Sam are
good enough for me.
He never has, or never will, submit to
tyranny.
He's slow to anger but for cause he'll
rise up In his might,
Demand fair play and Justice for the
weak, or else he'll fight.
The east, the west, give up their best
The flower of our land.
To do or die, and not ask why,
But ready at command.
They sail away, with spirits gay.
To France beyond the sea.
AS on they go, comes the echo.
my country, it's of thee"
REFRAIN.
Our cause is just, but one thing must
Be settled once for all.
End wars by might, that don't seem right,
For reasons great or small.
Until that day, we're there to stay.
And fight on till we see
The world at peace and warfare cease
Thus help humanity.
