ARE YOU AN AMERICAN?

It's true you were born in the
U. S. A.,
But that's not all there is to say;
Would you forego soda pop,
And buy stamp to shoot wop?
Perhaps a dime, or quarter would
hop,
That would wreck a plane or
kill a Jap;
And what you spend for watch
or beads
Would probably do some noble
deeds.
Our soldiers in uniform are to be
praised,
But there is money to be raised:
There must be cash to fight the
battle,
And that's the boat we all can
paddle.
Let's deny ourselves a soda
or lollypop,
And stay away from the beauty
shoppe;
Turn our money that is not spent
Into bonds and stamps for de-
Tense.
Turn your silk hose into cotton
Finery now should be forgotten;
~ In
This will prove you're a real
American.
We hear a howl about taxation
From those who care little fol-
the nation;
They remind us Of hogs eating
With no thought of where it
comes from.
Everyone for themselves, and
the Divil for ALL
Is an old saying l now recall;
But if we don't forget our sell
f1ShneSS,
It's sure as heck coming to us.
If we have the doe, now's the
time to lend,
It brings back big dividen
For Uncle Sam now needs the
crops
To fight the Germans, Japs and
Wops.
