For You and Me

For you and me the brave boys
go to face a grim and deadly foe,
to fight in darkness, cold and
snow, for you and me. They
break off all their cherished ties,
they say. perhaps. their last good
byes, to suffer under foreign skies,
for you and me. They leave the
safe and peaceful grind; they go,
their country need in mind. and
leave their weeping girls behind,
for YOU and me. We are too old,
too fat or lame. to climb the war
like Prussian frame, and so our
boys must play the game, for you
and me. l see them go, in pairs,
in fves; I hope each one of them
survives, but if they die they give
their lives, for you and me. That
we may count in peace our hoard,
the packages in bank vaults
stored, our fine young men take
up the sword, for you and me.
That foreign tyrants may be
foiled, that our bright flag may
be unsoiled, through weary
marches men have toiled, for you
and me- That we may face the
world and cry, "Our country's
honor stacks up high the boys
go forth to fight and die, for you
and me. For you and me! Are
we so small that we would dodge
the country's call to help the boys
who fight and fall for you and
me? Oh, let US buy nine bonds
and show just what we think
about the foe, about the soldier
boys who go, for you and me.
