WE GOT TO DO 1T

We're doing things we never done before
We got to;
Economizin daily, and more
We got to;
We're eatin' plenty, but much less of meat,
We're maxim bread of other things than wheat,
We're savn just lot on what we eat
We got to.
Bonds and stamps we will not fail to buy
We got to;
Many comforts we will ourselves deny
We got to;
Well give up almost anything until
Completely and positively we will
Knock all the stuffin' out of Kaiser Bill.
We got to. j. G.. Cantwell.
